[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
