Bride & Groom Hot Air Balloon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][D]
[G]Young couple is kic[C]king air as[G]
Their burning balloon
Takes the pair up and up and up
[C]and up and up and up and up
On an awful windy [G]day
And the young agricultural
manufacturer's assistant
Slowly raises his sleeping eyes
He opens them [C]wide, wide, wide, wide, wide
As he stares up at the [D]sky, sky,
sky, sky, sky
And the couple cries at
[C]ears that could not hear
"We are up here and we are [D]so very
afraid of heights"
That morning the bride [G]said
"I think it's very clear
With [D]my [G]premonitions here
[D]We were [C]meant for [G]a ride
[C]In that big hot [D]air balloon tonight"
And now she's cry[G]ing
"Oh, darling, darling, dear
[D]I'm so sorry to approach you here
You seem [C]terrible afeared
We won't get to see
[D]the morning sky
I can't help but wonder why
I'm not afraid [G]to die"[D][G]
And the water's all around
them, yeah
The water's all around them now
Townsfolk could try to help but how
Now that the ground is miles from [C]them
Bound for the ocean
Bound to let go some[G]time
And their arms are getting tired,
yeah
Their bones are flayed with fire
From the flaying of their wires
She looks into his [C]eyes, eyes,
eyes, eyes, eyes
Says, "At least we know [D]we tried,
tried, tried, tried, tried"
And the couple's sad [C]for years that up
'til here they both had dreams
And so they [D]swept their plans into the sea
She said, "We [C]could be
a pair of happy fish"
She [D]said, "I'll build a house
in a sunken ship"
Yeah, [C]we could be [G]a pair
[C]of happy fish
We'll build [D]a house in a sunken ship
Now [C]they're [G]a pair [C]of happy fish
They [D]live inside a sunken ship
Yeah, they're [C]a pair [G]of happy fish
They [D]live inside a sunken ship
When [G]you let go at the same time
[D]With the flowers all falling down
Let the [C]angels and the flowers
floating around
Stand [D]up and make themselves
known now
And letting the [G]lovers drown
