Capo on 2nd fret
I performed this song at my school's pop show and the second and last verse, I 
translated to Spanish. At the bottom of this tab, I've done so just in case you 
want to make it interesting..

[5th Verse] (last verse:)

(Now for the 2nd and last verse spanglish translation:)

2nd Verse:

99 Globos De Air
Flotando en cielo verano
Panico, rojo alerta
Algo aqui de algun donde else
Guerra maquina vine vida
Abre un ojo ansioso
Centrado en el cielo
Donde 99 Globos pasan

5th, Last Verse:

99 suenos yo habia
En cada globo de aire
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
En el polvo que era una ciudad
If I could find a souveneir
Al probar el mundo fue aqui
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go...



The reason why the Spanish says "99 globos de AIR" is because in German, 
"luftbalons" means "air ballons" but in English, I kept it as "Red" because that's 
how the song is known. In Spanish, not too many people would notice this change. 
It's kind of just for my own good. I hope you enjoyed and/or found this helpful (:
