Chords for Blue Balloon The Hourglass Song Robby Benson

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ have a blue [D] balloon, a happy [C] tune, Love enough to [B] last me all through the [E] afternoon.
I [Em] have the New York [D] Times, _ fourteen [C] dimes, And explanations [B] for the most profound _ [G#] nursery [E] rhymes.
Before [Am] the rivers [A] _ [D] run dry, [G] Before the _ _ [Am] land's said goodbye,
_ [Em] Let us be _ kind [Am] to one another, _ [F#m] We can try.
[B] _ _
_ [E] So _ _ [Am] don't just throw your [D] love about, It's not [G] too late to [Am] find out.
[Em] Before the sand tears all [B] run out, Of the [Em] hourglass.
The _ _ _ _ _ carnival is [D] here, the clowns [C] appear, Plastic painted [B] people hold each other [Em] near.
_ Hopes are always [D] high, they echo on [C] the sky, And when it's over, [B] there's just the lonely sound [E] of goodbye.
_ _ _ Before the _ [Am] rivers _ [D] run dry, [G] Before the land's [Am] said goodbye,
_ [Em] Let us be kind [Am] to one another, _ We [F#m] can try.
[B] _ _
So [E] _ _ _ [Am] don't just throw your love [D] about, It's not [G] too late [Am] to find out.
Before [Em] the _ sand tears [B] all run out, Of the [Em] hourglass. _ _ _ _ _
_ Too late to hide it [D] now, It's all around us [C] now.
Oh, I want you [B] girl, Come by my side of the [Em] mountain.
While there's still this [D] line, And all my poems still [C] rhyme,
Let me love you [B] now, As I drink the good, [E] good wine.
Before _ [Am] the rivers _ [D] run dry, [G] Before the _ land's [Am] said goodbye,
[Em] Let us be kind to [Am] one another, We [F#m] can _ try.
[B] _ _
_ _ [E] _ So don't [Am] just throw your love [D] about, You [G] and me, hey, let's [Am] find out.
_ [Em] Before the sand tears all [B] run out, _ [D#m]
Of [Em] the hourglass. _ _ _ _
