Capo 4

[Intro]
G C D    G C G

[Verse 1]
                  G            C         G
The sun is burning in the sky
                                  C                       D
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
           G              D/F# Em
In the park, the lazy bees
                    C
Are droning in the flowers among the trees
             G                 C          G
And the sun burns in the sky

[Verse 2]
              G          C         G
Now the sun is in the west
                       C                            D
Little kids go home to take their rest
              G                 D/F# Em
And the couples in the park
                     C
Are holding hands and waiting for the dark
              G         C         G
And the sun is in the west

[Verse 3]
               G         C            G
Now the sun is sinking low
                             C                           D
Children play and know it's time to go
         G              D/F#     Em
High above, a spot appears
             C
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
               G         C           G
And the sun is sinking low

[Verse 4]
               G            C            G
Now the sun has come to earth
                        C                                D
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
            G                     D/F# Em
Death comes in a blinding flash
                  C
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
              G              C           G
And the sun has come to earth

[Verse 5]
               G             C        G
Now the sun has disappeared
                           C                       D
All is darkness anger pain and fear
                 G                         D/F# Em
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
                   C
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
              G             C         D
And the sun has disappeared
