99 Red Balloons/ 99 Luftballoons

~by Nena

This song is great in German and English, and it's really easy.  This is
my interpretation of the chords.

You just repeat these four chords for the whole song, with the solo in
between verses.  Listen to the song for the exact rythms. I recommend
using both downstrokes and upstrokes, alternating--down, up, down, up,
down, up, etc.

        E           F#          A          B
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-|

Here's the solo....

E|-0-2-0-4-2-0---4-2-0---0---0-2-|
B|-------------2-------2---2-----|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

E|-0-2-0-4-2-0---4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-2-0-|
B|-------------2-----------------------|
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

Play this solo 2X each time in between verses.

By the way, to make it easier for beginners you can switch the A and B
power chords to the A string like this:

        E           F#          A           B
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------------------|

I like to play it all on the E sting, but it sounds pretty much
the same either way.  Good luck and have fun playing.
