The Sun Song chords by Brodie Buttons

Chords with lyrics

Standard tuning, no Capo

Verse 1:
    C majorC
As the sun rose over mankind
     G7G7
When the world was fresh and new
  C majorC
The horned one pan danced through the bush
    C majorC          G7G7
To the click of his cloven hooves
  C majorC
His merry reels ran through the hills
  C majorC
To make the peasants sing
    G7G7
As they looked all up to a burning sun
      C majorC      C majorC
And thanked her for everything

Verse 2:
     C majorC
Well, the sunshine's high up in the sky
    G7G7
Over Australia's golden plains
   C majorC
She's rose and set since time began
  C majorC         G7G7
She grows hotter every day
  C majorC
The life she gives turns bittersweet
    C majorC
As her dosage grows too great
    G7G7
And the fires rise up and fill the air
     C majorC        C majorC
With the bushes' burning haze

Verse 3:
   C majorC
As I Go to work
         G7G7
The garden in my backyard grows and grows
  C majorC
The sunflowers stand up proud and true
    C majorC          G7G7
And the roots curl in their toes
   C majorC
Their golden faces fixed to east
  C majorC
To greet the morning dawn
   G7G7
As my firstborn sun stirs in his sleep
  C majorC        C majorC
And wakes up with a yawn

Verse 4:
    C majorC
As the sun sets over Hobart
    G7G7
Martin Bryant cries and cries
   C majorC
As a sliver of sun falls cross the bunk
    C majorC        G7G7
Of the cell in which he lies
   C majorC
He's thinkin of his mother's tears
  C majorC
The blue eggs of magpies
    G7G7
As the same sun sets on everyone
  C majorC         C majorC
And kisses the day goodnight
    G7G7
As the same sun sets on everyone
  C majorC         C majorC
And kisses the day goodnight
