Why do I tab songs like this? Because I can... The 80s were ace!!!

E F#m

You and I in a little toy shop

A B

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

E F#m

Set them free at the break of dawn

A B

'Til one by one, they were gone

E F#m

Back at base, bugs in the software

A B

Flash the message "Something's out there"

E F#m A B

Floating in the summer sky, 99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky

E F#m

Panic bells, it's red alert

A B

There's something here from somewhere else

E F#m A B

The war machine springs to life; opens up one eager eye

E F#m A B

Focusing it on the sky where 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet

To worry, worry, super-scurry; call the troops out in a hurry

"This is what we've waited for, this is it boys, this is war"

The president is on the line as 99 red balloons go by

[Instrumental Interlude]

99 Knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters

Everyone's a Silverhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify, to clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky as 99 red balloons go by

As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had, in every one a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standin' pretty, in this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenier just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go
