  			           G       C       G 
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.
