Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [Em][Bm][Bbdim] [Em][C][Dm][G] [Em]It`s going to happen very soon. The great event which will end the [E]horror. Which will end the sorrow. Next Tuesday, when [B]the sun goes down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata [E]backwards. [Verse 2] [F#m]This will reverse the effects of the [C#m]world`s mad plunge into suffering, For the [G#]last 200 million years. What a lovely night that would be. [C#m]What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become [G#]bright red again, And the retired nightin[C#m]gales, [G#]Pick up their dusty tails, [Verse 3] [F#m] And assert the [D]majesty [A]of creation!
