[C] All [G] clear, wailed [Bb] the [F] sky once
[C] [G] Sunshine on [Bb] the [F] wasteland
[C] [G] Old man [Bb] sitting in the [F] white sand
[E] Enquiring [A] for a bit's of [F] rice
Right [E] between the eyes
[D] [C]
Seemed a [G] good idea [Bb] to drop a bomb on [F] the wasteland [Dm] here
Only [C] one man could be [Eb] seen and he was old [F] and so serene
[C]
[G] Captain Simon's deck [Bb] chair on the red light [F] flash beware
[Dm]
Pilots [F] fell quite big [Eb] time as the bomb sailed [F] through the air
[C] Well the captain [Dm] sang when the bang went [Em] bang
But the light bulbs [F] out when the smoke [Eb] began to clear
It was [G] positively [B] [Em] queer
[Bm] All [C] [G] clear, [Bb] wailed the [F] sky once
[C] [G] Sunshine [Bb] on the [F]
wasteland
[C] [G] Old man [Bb] sitting in [F] the white sand
[E] [A] Enquiring for a bit's [F] of rice right [E] between the eyes
[D] [C]
Die [G] said the [Bb] general, [F] cobblers said the man
So the [D] pentagon [F] sent a cable [Eb] and the queen [F] a telegram
[C]
They [G] bombed, they bombed, even very [Bb] small ones, ripped [F] apart that [Dm] sand
Till the stench [C] was just [Eb] revolting and the sky [F] a greenish tan
[C] Then a soldier said, [Dm] sir, there's a crack in the [Em] world
A fever's wet [F] spot and the bricks are too [Eb] far and wide
How [G] the universe [Em] slide
[Bm] [C] [G] All clear, [Bb] wailed the [F] siren
[C] [G] Sunshine [Bb] on the [F]
wasteland
