Up, Up, and Away

(Jimmy Webb)

Fadd2 Ebadd2 Dbadd2 [2X]

/ / / / / /

Verse 1:

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon

We could float among the stars together, you and I

For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away

My beautiful, my beautiful

Balloon

Verse 2:

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

Suspended under a twilight canopy

We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us

If by some chance you find yourself loving me

We'll find a cloud to hide us

We'll keep the moon beside us

Verse 3:

Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon

Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon

If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky

For we can fly we can fly

Coda:

Balloon...

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.
