The Sun Is Burning chords by Luke Kelly

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
