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!
