   END OF THE WORLD  Herman Hermits

Intro: F  C  Dm C

    F                        C
1. Why does the sun go on shining?
     Dm                       Am
    Why does the sea rush to shore?
     Gm                      Am
    Don't they know it's the end of the world,
           Bb         Gm          C    C7
    `cause you don't love me any more?


    F                        C
2. Why does my heart go on beating?
     Dm                       Am
    Why do these eyes of mine cry?
     Gm                       Am
    Don't they know it's the end of the world?
        Bb            C           F
    It ended when you said good-bye.
 
        Bb                           F
    I wake up in the morning and I wonder
     Gm                              F
    why everything's the same as it was.
           Am                      Dm
    And I can't understand, no, I can't understand,
     Bb                           C   C7
    why life goes on the way it does.
 
   F                        C
3. Why do the birds go on singing?
    Dm                       Am
    Why do the stars shine above?
     Gm                       Am
    Don't they know it's the end of the world?
         Bb          C        F
    It ended when I lost your love.

    F-C-Dm-Am-             Gm                        Am
                            Don't they know it's the end of the world?
        Bb             C        F     Bb  F  C7  F
    It ended when you said good-bye.
