Levon sells cartoon ballons in town. His fam'ly bus'ness thrives.
Jesus blows up balloons all day. Sits on the porch swing watching them

Hope this helps, apologies if the chords are placed only approximately
where the changes really are. Chords courtesy of a very-long defunct
magazine from 23 years ago (i.e. "don't blame me!"). Thanks to everyone
who has posted chords and TAB in the past- this is a great forum.
