Owl City – Hot Air Balloon chords ver. 3

Hey Everyone this is my first chords tabs.. Hope it works out.. =L

..This is for those of you who can't be bothered removing all the sharps yourselves:

CAPO FIRST FRET (because everyone loves capos! =D)

I think the intro/outro is C G Am F, not too sure.

Could never figure it out, =L

There is also fingerpicking: I'm not that pro =D

Also: The chords are based on the progression heard by the main guitar throughout the choruses
(if you listen closely, the bass also plays this progression in the verses).

Any questions feel free to email me at muffincakes@y7mail.com =)

- James. =L

C G Am F (4x)


VERSE 1
            C       GWe wrote a prelude
       Am             FTo our own fairy tale
             C         GAnd bought a parachute
     Am             FAt a church rummage sale

           C           GAnd with a mean sewing machine
    Am        FAnd miles of thread
             C           GWe sewed the day above L.A.
    Am       FIn navy and red


VERSE 2
           C           GWe wound a race track
             Am             FThrough your mom's kitchen chairs
               C            GAnd fought the shadows back
           Am            FDown your dark basement stairs

        C                   GI lit a match, then let it catch
   Am           FTo light up the room
             C               GAnd then you yelled as we beheld
   Am         FAn old maroon hot air balloon


CHORUS
C                  GI'll be out of my mind
    Am                FAnd you'll be out of ideas
        CPretty soon
          GSo let's spend
    Am              FThe afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C                    GLeave your jacket behind
     Am                 F            CLean out and touch the treetops over town
        GI can't wait
   AmTo kiss the ground
     F                CWherever we touch back down

C G Am F (4x)


VERSE 2  (same as 1st verse)
We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone

CHORUS  (same as original chorus)
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

No Chord (2x)

C G Am F (2x)

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

C G Am F (to fade)
