The Sun Song chords by Brodie Buttons

Standard tuning, no Capo

Verse 1:
       C
As the sun rose over mankind
         G7
When the world was fresh and new
    C
The horned one pan danced through the bush
       C                   G7
To the click of his cloven hooves
    C
His merry reels ran through the hills
   C
To make the peasants sing
        G7
As they looked all up to a burning sun
            C            C
And thanked her for everything

Verse 2:
          C
Well, the sunshine's high up in the sky
        G7
Over Australia's golden plains
      C
She's rose and set since time began
    C                  G7
She grows hotter every day
    C
The life she gives turns bittersweet
       C
As her dosage grows too great
        G7
And the fires rise up and fill the air
         C               C
With the bushes' burning haze

Verse 3:
     C
As I Go to work
                 G7
The garden in my backyard grows and grows
    C
The sunflowers stand up proud and true
        C                   G7
And the roots curl in their toes
      C
Their golden faces fixed to east
   C
To greet the morning dawn
      G7
As my firstborn sun stirs in his sleep
    C               C
And wakes up with a yawn

Verse 4:
       C
As the sun sets over Hobart
       G7
Martin Bryant cries and cries
     C
As a sliver of sun falls cross the bunk
       C                G7
Of the cell in which he lies
     C
He's thinkin of his mother's tears
    C
The blue eggs of magpies
       G7
As the same sun sets on everyone
    C                  C
And kisses the day goodnight
       G7
As the same sun sets on everyone
    C                  C
And kisses the day goodnight
