Simon & Garfunkel – The Sun Is Burning (Ukulele)

             B      E     B
The sun is burning in the sky.

            E                         F#
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by.

        B    A#m      G#m
In the park, the lazy bees

            E
Are droning in the flowers among the trees.

         B    E            B
And the sun burns in the sky.

         B      E     B
Now the sun is in the west

       E                          F#
Little kids go home to take their rest.

        B      A#m      G#m
And the couples in the park

            E
Are holding hands and waiting for the dark.

         B    E            B
And the sun is in the west.

          B      E     B
Now the sun is sinking low.

            E                         F#
Children play and know it's time to go.

        B    A#m      G#m
High above, a spot appears.

         E
A little blossom blooms and then draws near.

         B     E       B
And the sun is sinking low.

         B      E        B
Now the sun has come to earth.

         E                      F#
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death.

            B      A#m      G#m
Death comes in a blinding flash.

           E
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash.

         B      E       B
And the sun has come to earth.

         B      E        B
Now the sun has disappeared.

         E                      F#
All is darkness anger pain and fear.

            B      A#m      G#m
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men

           E                       
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain.

          B      E       B
And the sun has disappeared.
