F              Gm
  You and I in a little toy shop,
        A#                       C
  Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got,
  F                    Gm
  Set them free at the break of dawn,
      A#          C
 'Til one by one, they were gone,
  F                  Gm
  Back at base, bugs in the software,
  A#                   C
  Flash the message, "Something's out there",
  F              Gm
  Floating in a summer sky,
  A# C               A# C
  99 red balloons go by,
  G         Am
  99 dreams I have had,
     C           D
  In every one a red balloon,
  G                      Am
  It's all over and I'm standin' pretty,
  C                 D
  In the dust there was a city,
     G              Am
  If I could find a souvenir,
  C                 D
  Just to prove the world was here,
  G             Am
  Here it is, a red balloon,
    C                D
  I think of you and let it go,
  C    Dm        Am      G F       
         It's a mystery,
  C    Dm        Am      G F
         It's a mystery, (and you're the one)
  C    Dm        Am      G F
         It's a mystery,
  C    Dm        Am      G F
         It's a mystery,
  C              Dm
