Capo: 2

Capo on 2nd fret I performed this song at my school's pop show and the second and last verse, I translated to spanish. At the bottom of this tab, I've done so just in case you want to make it interesting.. (Strum these chords once at a time:) (no intro) 1st Verse:

^DYou and I in a ^Emlittle toy shop Buy a ^Gbag of balloons with the ^Amoney we got ^DSet them free at the ^Embreak of dawn Till ^Gone by one, they were ^Agone

^DBack at base, ^Embugs in the software ^GFlash the message: ^ASomething's out there... ^DFloating in the ^Emsummer sky ^G99 ^ARed Balloons go by^D..^Em. ^G ^A

2nd Verse:

^D99 ^EmRed Balloons ^GFloating in the ^Asummer sky ^DPanicking, it's ^Emred alert There's ^Gsomething here from ^Asomewhere else ^DWar machines ^Emspring to life ^GOpens up one ^Aeager eye ^DFocusing it ^Emon the sky G A D (hold) Where 99 Red Balloons go by...

(pick back up with 3rd Verse:)

^D99 Dec^Emision street ^G99 mini^Asters meet To ^Dworry, worry;^Em super scurry ^GCall the troops out ^Ain a hurry ^DThis is what we've ^Emwaited for ^GThis is it, boys, ^Athis is war The ^Dpresident is ^Emon the line As ^G99 ^ARed Balloons go b^Dy.^Em.. ^G ^A

4th Verse:

^D99 knights ^Emof the air Ride ^Gsuper high-tech ^Ajet fighters ^DEveryone's a ^Emsuper hero ^GEveryone's a ^ACaptain Kirk With ^Dorders to i^Emdentify To ^Gclarify and c^Alassify ^DScramble in the ^Emsummer sky As ^G99 ^ARed Balloons go ^Dby^Em... As ^G99 ^ARed Balloons go ^Dby^Em...^G ^A

(Strum these last chords once at a time:) 5th Verse (last verse:)

^D99 dreams ^EmI have had In ^Geach and every ^Ared balloon ^D It's all over and I'm^Em standing pretty ^GIn the dust that ^Awas a city If ^Di could find a ^Emsouveneir ^GJust to prove the ^Aworld was here ^DAnd here is a ^Emred balloon G A (pluck D string once) I think of you and let it go...

(Now for the 2nd and last verse spanglish translation:) 2nd Verse: 99 Globos De Air Flotando en cielo verano Panico, rojo alerta Algo aqui de algun donde else Guerra maquina vine vida Abre un ojo ansioso Centrado en el cielo Donde 99 Globos pasan 5th, Last Verse: 99 suenos yo habia En cada globo de aire It's all over and I'm standing pretty En el polvo que era una ciudad If I could find a souveneir Al probar el mundo fue aqui And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go... The reason why the spanish says "99 globos de AIR" is because in german, "luftbalons" means "air ballons" but in english, i kept it as "Red" because that's how the song is known. In spansih, not to many people would notice this change. It's kind of just for my own good. I hope you enjoyed and/or found this helpful (:
