Song: 99 Red Balloons
Band: Goldfinger
[Verse 1]
E              F#m
You and I in a little toy shop
      A
buy a bag of balloons with
    B
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
99 red balloons go by
[Vamp]
E
E      B
[Verse 2]
E  F#m
99 red balloons
A               B
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
As 99 red balloons go by
E  F#mA B
         x2
[Verse 3]
E    F#m
99 Decision Street,
A    B
99 ministers meet
   E             F#m
To worry, worry, super-scurry
A                       B
Call out the troops now 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
As 99 red balloons go by
[Vamp]
E

E  F#m
99 Kriegsminister
A               B
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
E                 F#m
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
A               B
Witterten schon fette Beute
E                 F#m
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
A                B
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
E              F#m
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
      A  B
Wegen 99 Luftballons
E  F#m  A  B
[Verse 5]
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 the 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 it is, a red balloon
A                  B
I think of you and let it go
