Verse 1
The (A minor)
other night i had a dream you (D minor) came to me or so seemed, on a (G major) vessel of hot air gleaming (C major) red. (E major)
An im (A minor) petus upon the wing,
you (D minor) offered me a golden ring and (G major) so I left my dreams within the (E major) bed
Verse 2
I jumped (A minor) aboard with nightcap on, the moon (D minor) was up,
the curtains drawn- (G major) we rose into the silver dusty (C major) glow (E major)
The whistle (A minor) spoke above the cloak of (D minor) factories that
billowed smoke (E major) over the city of Bordeaux
Verse 3
The cap (D minor) tain and the ballast boy (C major) played a waltz on clocks and toys,
we (A minor) set our sights for glory, and the (G major) sea
We fired (D minor) the gas, and soon we passed,
(C major) painted ships all made of brass who sailed (E major) in orbit astro- logically
Verse 4
You promised (D minor) me a lullabye, and (C major) we built castles in the sky,
fash (A minor) ioned from the flowers that we (G major) grew
But (D minor) then the wind's song was strange and (C major) we both knew that
things would change and (E major) so you left me floating in the blue
(A minor) Oh,
Verse 5
wind, carry (C major) me, carry (E minor) me,
(E major) far (E minor) (E major) away far away (A minor)
Until another day,
Until another june
(C major) I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark (B minor)
On (B flat major) this (D minor) giant (A minor) red balloon
Verse 6
Oh, wind, carry (C major) me, carry (E minor) me,
far away far away (A minor)
Until another day,
Until another jun (C major) e
I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark (B minor)
On (B flat major) this (D minor) giant red (A minor) balloon

Verse 7
Two (E major) lov (G major) ers,
foating in the atmo (A minor) sphere (C major)
(A minor) And (G major) i will always be
your faithful cava (A minor) lier
And just (E major) like tales of d'Arlandes and
Rozier (C major) (G major) (C major)
We'll float (D minor) among the stars, I,
your valiant gon (E major) dolier

Verse 8
The (A minor) other night I had a dream you (D minor) came to me- or so it seemed-
on a zep (G major) plin made of crystal, made of glass (C major) (E major)
Upon (A minor) a steam calliope you sat (D minor) and played a song for me,
a (G major) shanti from a vagrant midnight (E major) mass
Verse 9
You puffed (A minor) a pipe of turkish moss and (D minor) set course for the albatross,
a (G major) sea of silver prophets on the (C major) wing (E major)
And (A minor) through the captain's telescope, you (D minor) gazed and blew a ring of smoke,
and (E major) then we bade farewell unto the spring
Verse 10
You (D minor) were like a dusty rose, an (C major) arrow launched from heaven's bow,
a chan (A minor) son, ever haunting to my (G major) ear (B minor)
An (D minor) d for better or for worse, I (C major) knew this was the final verse,
an (E major) ode to times soon to disappear
Verse 11
The (D minor) anchor man was ill- content and (C major) sang a song,
a sweet lament, while (A minor) I flipped pennies to the sky (G major)
And (D minor) bade farewell to you my love,
this (C major) stormy romance up above, a tale (E major) sure to electrify
Verse 12
(E major) (A minor)
Oh, wind, carry (C major) me, carry (E minor) me,
(E major) far away far away (A minor)
Un (D minor) til another (A minor) day,
Until another jun (C major) e
I'll be looking for (B minor) a lark (B flat major)
(A minor) (C major) (E minor) (D minor) (A minor) (C major)
I'll be floating in the dark (B major)
(B flat major) On this giant red (D minor) bal (A minor) loon
Verse 13
Oh, wind, carry (C major) me, carry (E minor) me,
far away far away (D minor)
Until another (A minor) day,
Until another jun (C major) e
I'll be (B minor) (B flat major) (A minor) look (C major) ing
(E minor) for (D minor) a lark (A minor) (C major)
I'll be floating in the dark (B major)
(B flat major) On this giant red balloon
