Coda:
[Gadd2]Balloon.[Fadd2]..[Ebadd2]
[Gadd2]Up, up, [Fadd2]and away[Ebadd2] (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.
