Big Red Balloon

Intro: A
Sometimes a man and a woman spend 30 or 40 years together
and they don't belong together
And then one day one of them tries to leave and does
but in a most peculiar way

A (x02220@1)                   G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)                AOne (x02220@1)of these days I'm leaving, leaving you fool behind.

Oh, woman, are you looking cause I'm almost 10 feet high, high, high
Woman stop your cooking cause I'll never eat that pie.
I'm on my way to heaven might even touch the moon.
We've needed by my leaving in my big red balloon.

You're noting but an old fool..

You never gave me nothing, you never were the kind.
You never gave me children, you never had the time.
Remember me to one, I was born this afternoon.
I've got it all together in my big red balloon
 
You're noting but an old fool...
