Red Balloons â Katie Melua
Hi guys, love this song so I decided to tab(/chord) it today. Hope you enjoy it,
it is accurate.
INTRO
( ) x 3
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
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
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
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
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
Will they burst or drift
Into arms,
Will they burst or drift
Into arms

(+ 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
They could burst or drift
Into arms,
Into arms
