------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GIRL WITH THE RED BALLOON - The Civil Wars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Macheeoo Email: macheeoo@yahoo.com Tuning: Standard ***NOTE: I'm not 100% sure that the B7 chord is the correct chord. I know it has a B note in it and it sounded closer than Em, B, or G. If you think you've figured it out let me know! Also, play the song in a polka fashion, waltzy if you will in a 3/4 time signature I believe (never took music theory...)
