D                    Em 
You and I in a little toy shop 
          G                                     A 
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got 
D                    Em 
Set them free at the break of dawn 
     G                 A 
Till one by one, they were gone 
D                               Em 
Back at base sparks in the software 
G                               A 
Flash the message, somethings out there 
D                     Em 
Floating in the summer sky as 
G  A                        D            Em            G            A

D  Em 
99 red balloons 
G                     A 
Floating in the summer sky 
D                     Em 
Panic bells it's red alert 
             G                               A 
There's something here from somewhere else 
       D                    Em 
The war machine springs to life 
G                     A 
Opens up one eager eye 
D                 Em                G  A                       D          Em            G            A 
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by 


D   Em 
99 decisions treat 
G   A 
99 ministers meet 
     D                   Em 
To worry, worry, super scurry 
G                           A 
Call the troops out in a hurry 
D                           Em 
This is what we've waited for 
G                     A 
This is it boys, this is war 
    D                    Em 
The president is on the line 
      G  A                       D          Em          G            A 
As 99 red balloons go by 


D               Em 
99 knights of the air 
        G                       A 
Ride super high tech jet fighters 
D                  Em             G                   A 
Everyone's a super hero, Everyone's a Captain Kirk 
         D            Em 
With orders to identify 
     G                A 
To clarify, and classify 
D                        Em 
Scramble in the summer sky 
G  A                       D      Em 
99 red balloons go by 
G  A                       D      Em      G      A 
99 red balloons go by 

Slow it down a little on the last verse. 
D               Em                G                A 
99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon 
D                          Em 
It's all over and I'm standing pretty 
G                      A 
In this dust that was a city 
  D                  Em 
If I could find a souvenir 
G                        A 
Just to prove the world was here 
       D            Em 
And here is a red balloon 
 G                         A 
I think of you, and let it go
