Red Balloons
Katie Melua
Red Balloons - Katie Melua [Intro] x3 [Verse] I put my heart in a red balloon But I let it go too soon Let it go on the boulevard Where wicked winds blow so hard Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that [Chorus] The sky is full of red balloons Red balloons are full of broken hearts Broken hearts are floating by a chance Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms [Verse] I put my voice in a red balloon For you it sang too many tunes Haunted by those melodies I let it go with the breeze Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that [Chorus] The sky is full of red balloons Red balloons are full of broken hearts Broken hearts are floating by a chance Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms I put my eyes in a red balloon To watch you with the light of the moon But seeing you holding hands With another girl and making plans Well I just had to set you free And finally see that [Chorus] The sky is full of red balloons Red balloons are full of broken hearts Broken hearts are floating by a chance Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms Cadd9 G Will they burst or drift Into arms (x3) (+ SOLO - This small section can be improvised using the G Major/Major Pentatonic Scale and by extension the E Minor/Minor Pentatonic Scale. In other words unless your dead set on playing the solo as its played in the song you can improvise your own solo over these chords using the scales mentioned.) [Outro] Cadd9 G They could burst or drift Into arms Into arms
