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:

^CYou and I in a ^Amlittle toy shop Buy a ^Cbag of balloons with the ^Dmoney we got ^CSet them free at the ^Ambreak of dawn Till ^Cone by one, they were ^Dgone

^CBack at base, ^Ambugs in the software ^CFlash the message: ^DSomething's out there... ^CFloating in the ^Amsummer sky ^C99 ^DRed Balloons go by^C..^Am. ^C ^D

2nd Verse:

^C99 ^AmRed Balloons ^CFloating in the ^Dsummer sky ^CPanicking, it's ^Amred alert There's ^Csomething here from ^Dsomewhere else ^CWar machines ^Amspring to life ^COpens up one ^Deager eye ^CFocusing it ^Amon the sky C D C (hold) Where 99 Red Balloons go by...

(pick back up with 3rd Verse:)

^C99 Dec^Amision street ^C99 mini^Dsters meet To ^Cworry, worry;^Am super scurry ^CCall the troops out ^Din a hurry ^CThis is what we've ^Amwaited for ^CThis is it, boys, ^Dthis is war The ^Cpresident is ^Amon the line As ^C99 ^DRed Balloons go b^Cy.^Am.. ^C ^D

4th Verse:

^C99 knights ^Amof the air Ride ^Csuper high-tech ^Djet fighters ^CEveryone's a ^Amsuper hero ^CEveryone's a ^DCaptain Kirk With ^Corders to i^Amdentify To ^Cclarify and c^Dlassify ^CScramble in the ^Amsummer sky As ^C99 ^DRed Balloons go ^Cby^Am... As ^C99 ^DRed Balloons go ^Cby^Am...^C ^D

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

^C99 dreams ^AmI have had In ^Ceach and every ^Dred balloon ^C It's all over and I'm^Am standing pretty ^CIn the dust that ^Dwas a city If ^Ci could find a ^Amsouveneir ^CJust to prove the ^Dworld was here ^CAnd here is a ^Amred balloon C D (pluck C 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 (:
