Toy Balloon Bert Jansch

Capo 4th fret to play along with Bert´s original song

(G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D)
(G) I´m a toy bal(G5)loon on a windy (C)day,(Cadd9)
(G) Let go of the (G5)string, babe, I´ll blow a(C)way(Cadd9)
(G°) Up over the chimney (D)tops,
Just (Em)floating in that hot summer (Fj7)air.
If I (Em)come to land, only God knows (G)where(G5)
Or (C)when(Cadd9) it´ll (G)be, (G5)
Little (C)one. (Cadd9) (G°) Will you remember (D)me?
(G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D)

(G) I´m a bumble (G5)bee on a busy (C)day,(Cadd9)
(G) Got to catch the (G5)colours along the (C)way,(Cadd9)
(G°) Down to the flowery (D)garden
Where prim(Em)roses and violets (Fj7)blue,
Such (Em)pretty flowers, but not as nice as (G)you(G5)
Are to(C)day,(Cadd9) I love (G)you, (G5)
Little (C)one.(Cadd9) (G°) Will you remember (D)me?
(G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D)
(Em) (Fj7) (Em) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D)

(G) I´m a skylark (G5)high o´er the (C)ground,(Cadd9)
(G) I fill the (G5)air with the sweetest (C)sounds.(Cadd9)
(G°) Look up and see me (D)dancing,
(Em)Helter-skelter and a-(Fj7)tumbling.
If you (Em)listen close, you can hear me (G)sing(G5)
My (C)song(Cadd9) of (G)love(G5)
For (C)you.(Cadd9) (G°) Will you remember (D)me?
(G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D)

(G) I´m a toy bal(G5)loon on a windy (C)day,(Cadd9)
(G) Let go of the (G5)string, babe, I´ll blow a(C)way(Cadd9)
(G°) Up over the chimney (D)tops,
Just (Em)floating in that hot summer (Fj7)air.
If I (Em)come to land, only God knows (G)where(G5)
Or (C)when(Cadd9) it´ll (G)be, (G5)
Little (C)one. (Cadd9) (G°) Will you remember (D)me?
(G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G) (G5) (C) (Cadd9) (G°) (D) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
