The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly

For we can fly we can fly

Coda:
Gadd2 Fadd2 Ebadd2
Balloon...
Gadd2 Fadd2 Ebadd2
Up, up, and away [repeat to fade]
N.B. there isn't a usable guitar fingering for those add2 chords - on
keyboard you'd voice them as 2nd/3rd/5th (e.g. Fadd2 => G/A/C) in the
right hand. Steely Dan would refer to this voicing years later as the
"mu-major" chord.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FIFTH DIMENSION tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
