Red Balloons

([C] [G] [D]) x 3

[G]I put my heart in a red balloon
[G7]But I let it go too soon
[F]Let it go on the boulevard
[C]Where wicked winds blow so hard

[D]Maybe had I looked up I would have seen [C]that

The sky[G] is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of brok[C]en hearts
[D]Broken hearts are floating by a ch[Em]ance

Will they bu[C9]rst or drif[G]t
Into arms [D]
Will they bu[C9]rst or drif[G]t
Into arms [D]

[G]I put my voice in a red balloon
[G7]For you it sang too many tunes
[F]Haunted by those melodies
[C]I let it go with the breeze

[D]Maybe had I looked up I would have seen [C]that

The sky[G] is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken [C]hearts
[D]Broken hearts are floating by a [Em]chance

Will they bur[C9]st or drift[G]
Into arm[D]s
Will they bur[C9]st or drift[G]
Into arm[D]s

I p[C]ut my eyes[D] in a red balloon [F]         [G]
To [C]watch you [D]with the light of [F]the moon[G],

[C]But seei[D]ng you h[Em]olding hands
With ano[Em]ther gir[D]l and ma[C]king plans
[C]Well I j[D]ust had [Em]to set you free
[Em]And fina[D]lly see,[C] that

The sky[G] is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of[C] broken hearts
[D]Broken hearts are floating by a ch[Em]ance
Will they bu[C9]rst or drif[G]t
Into arms,[D]
Will they bu[C9]rst or drif[G]t
Into arms [D]

[C](+[G] S[D]OLO - This small section can be improvised using the G Major/Major Pentatonic
Scale and by extension the E Minor/Minor Pentatonic Scale. In other words, unless
your dead set on playing the solo as its played in the song, you can improvise
your own solo over these chords using the scales mentioned.)

They could b[C9]urst or dri[G]ft
Into arms,[D]
Into arms [G]
