[Fm]
I have a blue balloon, [Eb] a happy tune, [Db] love enough [Fm] to last me all through the afternoon.
New York Times, [Eb]
fourteen [Db] dimes, an explanation [C] of the most profound nursery [F] rhymes.
Before [Bbm] the rivers run [Eb]
dry, before [Ab] the last [Bbm] sad goodbye,
let's be [Fm] kind to [Bbm] one another, we can try.
So [F]
