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