 INTRO:  G

 VERSE:

 G                             
 I was walkin' up 6th Ave. when 
                              C
balloon man came right up to me
        G                          
 He was round and fat and spherical
 with the biggest grin I've ever 
 D
seen
 G                              
 He bounced on up towards me but 
                          C
before we could be introduced
 G                                 
 He blew up very suddenly - I guess
               D        G
 his name was probably Bruce

 CHORUS:

        D               G     C
 And I laughed, like I always do
        D              G        C
 And I cried, like I cried for you
      C       G  D    G  D  F#m G
 And balloon man blew up in my hands

 VERSE:

 G                             
 He spattered me with tomatoes, 
hummus, chickpeas, and some strips 
     C
of skin
      G                          
 So I made a right on 44th, but I 
                 D          G
washed my hands when I got in

 CHORUS:
         D              G      C
 And it rained, like a slow divorce
         D              G      C
 And I wished, I could ride a horse
      C      G   D    G   D F#m G
 And balloon man blew up in my hands

 I was walkin' up 6th Ave. when 
                            C
balloon man blew up in my face
            G                      
 There were loads of them on Bryant
                        D       G
 Park, so I didn't feel out of place
 There must have been a plague of 
                                 C
them on the TV when I came home late
            G                      
 They were guzzling marshmellows 
                       D       G
and then jumping off the Empire 
State

 CHORUS:
        D               G      C
 And I laughed, like I always do
        D              G        C
 And I cried, like I cried for you
      C      G   D    G  D  F#m G
 And balloon man blew up in my hands

 G  O:  It's played on the top two 
strings, starting at xxxx87.
 I hear xxxx88 (C), xxxx1010 (D), 
xxxx1312 (G7), etc. in there, but 
the
 picking is too fast too accurately 
transcribe.  IMPROVISE!!!
