Nina - 99 Red Balloons

E D
you and i in a little toy shop
A
buy a bag of balloons with
B
the money we’ve got
E D
set them free at the break of dawn
A D
’til one by one , they were gone
E D
back at base , bugs in the software
A D
flash the message , “something’s out there”
E D
floating in the summer sky
A D
99 red balloons go by .

( ( same chords throughout ) )

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
panic bells , it’s red alert
there’s something here from somewhere else
the war machine springs to life
opens up one eager eye
focusing it on the sky
as 99 red balloons go by .

99 decision street , 99 ministers meet
to worry , worry , super – scurry
call out the troops now in a hurry
this is what we’ve waited for
this is it boys , this is war
the president is on the line
as 99 red balloons go by .

iv ( do the same chords )
99 kriegsminister
streichholz und benzinkanister
hielten sich fuer schlaue leute
witterten schon fette beute
riefen : krieg und wollten macht
mann , wer haette das gedacht
dass es einmal soweit kommt
wegen 99 luftballons

99 dreams i have had
in every one a red balloon
it’s all over and i’m standin’ pretty
in the dust that was a city
if i could find a souvenier
just to prove the world was here . . .
and here it is , a red balloon
i think of you and let it go .
