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
Floating in the summer sky
A B E F#m A B
99 red balloons go by
E F#m A B
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
The war machine springs to life
A B
Opens up one eager eye
E F#m
Focusing it on the sky
A B
Where 99 red balloons go by
E F#m
99 Decision Street
A B
99 ministers meet
E F#m
To worry, worry, super-scurry
A B
Call the troops out in a hurry
E F#m
This is what we've waited for
A B
This is it boys, this is war
E F#m
The president is on the line
A B E F#m A B
As 99 red balloons go by
E F#m
99 Knights of the air
A B
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
E F#m
Everyone's a Super hero
A B
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
E F#m
With orders to identify
A B
To clarify and classify
E F#m
Scramble in the summer sky
A B E F#m
As 99 red balloons go by
A B E F#m A B
As 99 red balloons go by
E F#m
99 dreams I have had
A B
In every one a red balloon
E F#m
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
A B
In this dust that was a city
E F#m
If I could find a souvenier
A B
Just to prove the world was here
E F#m
And here is a red balloon
A B
I think of you and let it go
