Heaven Bound Balloons

C     Am   G Am


[Verse 1]
  G        C
I saw them sittin' with their legs 
crossed in the backyard
             Am                    
The kids had magic markers writin' 
G     Am
on balloons
     G       C
They let one go and watched it sail 
above the treetops
     Am                       G   
So I went outside to see what they
        Am
 were doin'


[Pre-Chorus]
G           F                    
They said, "Daddy, we been 
           G
sendin' notes to Grandpa"
       F                        
I just smiled sat down and said, 
            G
"Mind if I join y'all?"


[Chorus]
              F
We wrote, "We miss you and we love 
you"
         G
Told him things are great down here
              F
We spelled it out and sent it up
       G               Am
And we watched it disappear
    G       F                     
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it
      G
 to believe it
                               Am  
'Cause right then I knew those blue
                  G       F
 sky prayers were gettin' through

We let go of those heaven bound 
     C
balloons


[Verse 2]
  G       C
Before we knew I swear we'd made at 
least a dozen
        Am                      G 
One for everyone we wished were 
       Am
here but wasn't
G           F                    
There was a red one for our 
          G
Labrador named Rio
      F                            
And a blue one to Ms. Ruth who used
    G
 to live just down the road


[Chorus]
              F
We wrote, "We miss you and we love 
you"
         G
Told him things are great down here
              F
We spelled it out and sent it up
       G               Am
And we watched it disappear
    G       F                     
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it
      G
 to believe it
                               Am  
'Cause right then I knew those blue
                  G       F
 sky prayers were gettin' through
       Am                 G   
We let go of those heaven bound 
     C
balloons
        Am    G  F
Whoa-oh-oh
        Am    G  F
Whoa-oh-oh
G       Am    G  F    G
Whoa-oh-oh


[Bridge]
        F                          
Yeah, I know that I'll be sittin' 
        G
up there someday
         F                         
Don't forget to send a couple of 
  G
'em my way


[Chorus]
              F
Say, "We miss you and we love you"
        G
Tell me things are great down here
              F
Just spell it out and send it up
    G             Am
And watch it disappear
    G       F                     
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it
      G
 to believe it
                               Am  
'Cause right then I knew those blue
                  G       F
 sky prayers were gettin' through
       Am                 G   
We let go of those heaven bound 
     F
balloons
    Am                 G   
Let go of those heaven bound 
     C
balloons
        Am     G  C
Whoa-oh-oh
