B E B The sun is burning in the sky E F# Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by B F#/A# G#m In the park, the lazy bees E Are droning in the flowers among the trees B E B And the sun burns in the sky Now the sun is in the West Little kids go home to take their rest And the couples in the park Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark And the sun is in the West Now the sun is sinking low Children playin' know it's time to go High above a spot appears A little blossom blooms and then draws near And the sun is sinking low Now the sun has come to Earth Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death Death comes in a blinding flash Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash And the sun has come to Earth Now the sun has disappeared All is darkness, anger, pain and fear Twisted, sightless wrecks of men Go groping on their knees and cry in pain And the sun has disappeared You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
