[Em] The sun [G] is burning [C] in [G] the sky.
Strands of cloud [C] go slowly [D] drifting by.
[F#]
In the [G] park [C] the [Bm] dreamy [G] bees are [D] droning in [G] the flowers among [C] the trees.
[D]
And [G] the sun [C] is in [G] the sky.

[G]
Now the sun [C] is in [G] the west.
Little kids [C] lay down to take [D] their rest.
And [G] the couples [C] in [D] the park [G] are [D] holding hands [G] and waiting for [C] the dark.
[D] [G] And the sun [C] is in [G] the [C] west.
[G] Now the sun [C] is sinking [G]
low.
Children [C] playing, oh, it's time [D] to go.
[G] High [C] above a spot [D] appears, [G] a little [D] blossom [G]
blooms and then [C] draws near.
[D] And [G] the sun [C] is sinking [G] [C] low.

Now the sun [C] has come [G] to earth.
Shrouded in [C] a mushroom cloud [D] of death.
Death [G] comes [C] in a [D] blinding flash [G] of hellish [D] heat [G] and leaves a smear [C] of ash.
[G] And the sun [C] has come [G] to earth.
[C] [G]
Now the sun has [C] [G]
disappeared.
[C] [G]
All is [C] darkness, anger, pain [D] and fear.
[F#] Twisted [B]
sightless [C] wrecks of [D] men go [G] [D] groping on their [G]
knees [F#] and cry [C] in [D] pain.
And the [G]
