[F#]
The sun is burning [B] in [F#] the sky, strands of clouds [B] go slowly drifting [C#] by.
In [F#] the park the dreamy bees are droning in the flowers among the [B] trees.
[C#] [B]
[F#] And the sun [B] burns [F#] in the sky, now the sun is [B] in [F#] the wild.
Little babes lay [B] down to take [C#] their hands, and the [F#] couples in the park are holding hands and waiting [B] for the dark.
[G#m] [B]
And [F#] the sun is [B]
[F#] in the wild, now the sun [B] is [F#] sinking low.
Children playing, [B] now it's time [C#] to go.
High [F#] above a spot appears, a little blossom blooms and then [B] draws near.
[G#m] [B]
And [F#] the sun [G#m] is sinking [F#] low, now the sun has [B] come [F#] to earth.
Shrouded in [B] a mushroom cloud [C#] of death, death comes [F#] in a blinding flash of hellish heat and leaves a smear [B] of ash.
And [F#] the sun [B] has come [F#] to earth, now the sun [B] has [F#] disappeared.
All that's left [B] is darkness and [C#] fear.
[F#] Twisted sightless wrecks of men go crawling on their knees and crying [B] pain.
[G#m] [B]
[F#] And the sun has
[G#m] [F#] disappeared.
