INTRO SOL
VERSE:
SOL DO
I was walkin' up 6th Ave. when balloon man came right up to me
SOL RE
He was round and fat and spherical with the biggest grin I've ever seen
SOL DO
He bounced on up towards me but before we could be introduced
SOL RE SOL
He blew up very suddenly - I guess his name was probably Bruce
CHORUS
RE SOL DO
And I laughed, like I always do
RE SOL DO
And I cried, like I cried for you
DO SOL RE SOL RE FA#m SOL
And balloon man blew up in my hands
VERSE:
SOL DO
He spattered me with tomatoes, hummus, chickpeas, and some strips of skin
SOL RE SOL
So I made a right on 44th, but I washed my hands when I got in
CHORUS
RE SOL DO
And it rained, like a slow divorce
RE SOL DO
And I wished, I could ride a horse
DO SOL RE SOL RE FA#m SOL
And balloon man blew up in my hands
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: G F (listen for the rhythm)
I like playing this:---------------

VERSE:
SOL DO
I was walkin' up 6th Ave. when balloon man blew up in my face
SOL RE SOL
There were loads of them on Bryant Park, so I didn't feel out of place
DO
There must have been a plague of them on the TV when I came home late
SOL RE SOL
They were guzzling marshmellows and then jumping off the Empire State
CHORUS
RE SOL DO
And I laughed, like I always do
RE SOL DO
And I cried, like I cried for you
DO SOL RE SOL RE FA#m SOL
And balloon man blew up in my hands
