The Balloon

Capo 2nd fret


Dsus
I set a friend of mine up on a date

And I told him I'd watch his boy for
 the day
    G                     A
And we had a ball playing games, 
eating dogs
       Dsus
Riding rides at the county fair

I thought he was just being a kid

When we got back to my place and he 
did what the did
       G                          
On a balloon that he won he wrote 
A
momma I had fun
      Dsus
And I missed you and I wished you 
were there
         Em                  A    
I wasn't sure what he had in mind 
        Em                   A
till he jumped up and ran outside?

(Chorus)

              G   A          
And he let it go, and he waved 
  D
good-bye
            G    A                
Or was it hello, I don't know but 
  D
I died inside
            Bm                     
I can still see his excitement him 
A
pointin? and smilin?
     D           A           G
When it was gone as it could get
                  Em
And he turned and asked me,
A                        D
You think it's in heaven yet?


Dsus
I struggled for something to say

I was too choked up lacking that 
kind of faith
   G                    A      
He had in his heart and before I 
                 Dsus
could start he walked me back inside

He gave me his crayola pen and said 
I'll bet there's a message
That you'd like to send, and no 
G
doubt he was right
          A                        
It?s been locked up inside since my
 Dsus
 grandpa said good-bye
  Em                 A         Em
I took that yellow balloon and 
                      A
wrote till I ran out of room?


(Chorus)

             G   A          
And I let it go, and we waved 
  D
good-bye
                G   A             
That seven-year old Lord he opened
    D
 my eyes
            Bm                     
I can still see his excitement him 
A
pointin? and smilin?
     D           A           G
When it was gone as it could get
                  Em
Then I turned and asked him
A                          D
You think it's in heaven yet?
