The Sun Is Burning Ian Campbell
Capo 2nd fret
(A) (D) (E) (A) (hold)
The sun is (A)burning (D)in the (A)sky,
Strands of clouds go (D)slowly drifting (E)by.
In the (A)park the (A/G#)lazy (F#m)bees
Are droning (D)in the flowers among the trees
And the (A)sun burns (D)in the (A)sky.
Now the sun is (D)in the (A)west,
Little kids go (D)home to take their (E)rest,
And the (A)couples (A/G#)in the (F#m)park
Are holding (D)hands and waiting for the dark,
And the (A)sun is (D)in the (A)west.
Now the sun is (D)sinking (A)low,
Children playing (D)know it´s time to (E)go.
High a(A)bove a (A/G#)spot ap(F#m)pears,
A little (D)blossom blooms and then draws near,
And the (A)sun is (D)sinking (A)low.
Now the sun has (D)come to (A)earth,
Shrouded in a (D)mushroom cloud of (E)death.
Death comes (A)in a (A/G#)blinding (F#m)(hold)flash
Of hellish (D)heat and leaves a smear of ash,
And the (A)sun has (D)come to (A)earth.
Now the sun has (D)disap(A)peared,
All is darkness, (D)anger, pain and (E)fear.
Twisted (A)sightless (A/G#)wrecks of (F#m)men
Go groping (D)on their knees and cry in pain,
And the (A)sun has (D)disap(E)peared.
