THE SUN IS BURNING- Simon and Garfunkel
Tabbed by Brian Becker (bbecker@easy-pages.com)

CAPO II {Key B (A with Capo)} 

NOTE: This is just the chords and intro. I'd say it is
best to jam over the chords with the A scale in the
second position. That scale is...
|----------------------------------2-4-5-(7)--|
|----------------------------2-3-5------------|
|----------------------1-2-4------------------|
|------------------2-4------------------------|
|------------2-4-5----------------------------|
|--(2)-(4)-5----------------------------------|

When improvising, place major emphasis on the notes on
the E G and B strings. Enjoy.

A D A
The sun is burning in the sky.
D E
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by.
A (G#) F#m
In the park, the lazy bees
D
Are droning in the flowers among the trees.
A D A
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 holding hands and waiting for the dark.
And the sun is in the west.

Now the sun is sinking low.
Children play and 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.
A D E
And the sun has disappeared.
