Note: the album version is up a half step. The live version is in D. Because of the open stringings, if you want to play it in Eb I suggest you use a capo :).

Build up to D9 ...

Those are the three components to the intro, listen to a recording for the matching up. Below, you can substitute the C with a C9

Here is an alternative take on the intro.

 D9 C (Third riff)

I'm floating in the blimp a lot

D9 C9 (Third riff)

I feel the feeling I forgot

 (Third Riff)

Swimming weightless in the womb

 (Third Riff)

Bouncing gently round the room

 (etc...)

In a minute I'll be free

And we'll be splashing in the sea

I feel no curiosity

I see the path ahead of me

In a minute I'll be free

And we'll be splashing in the sea

We hear a tiny cry

As the ship goes sliding by

Free!

Free!

Free!

I'm floating in the blimp a lot

I feel the feeling I forgot

I feel free
