A coronavirus called Covid-19 is sweeping the world in 2020, threatening 
to kill hundred of thousands and precipitate worldwide economic collapse.
In March, NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ahern put our nation's response at     
Level Two.                                                                                            


A
How high's your level, 'Cinta?
It’s Level One and and rising
And how high's our danger, 'Cinta?
I'd say it's Level One and rising.
It’s spread from China and into I-A7-ran
D We’ve had to cancel our holiday plans
And E7 every half hour I’ve been washing my hands
It’s Level One and A rising.     C
C How high's your level, 'Cinta?
It’s Level Two and rising
And how high's our danger, 'Cinta?
We make it Level Two and rising. Our borders are closing a little too C7 late
The F virus is here an' the news is not great
And I've G7 got t' stay home 'cause I'm 78
It’s Level Two and C rising.       D

D
How high's your level, 'Cinta?
It's Level Three and rising
And how high's our danger, 'Cinta?
You know it's Level Three and and rising. We’ve got hundreds infected and seventeen D7 dead
The G school kids are doing home study instead
An' this A7 cough has got worse since I took to m' bed,
It’s Level Three and D rising     E
E How high's your level, 'Cinta?
It’s Level Four but falling
And how high's our danger, 'Cinta?
It's still Level Four but falling. Well the blossoms are out on our cherry E7 tree
And I A hope you’ll sing this song for me
If I’ve B7 ended up in the cemet’ry
It’s Level Four but E falling

Yes the B7 blossoms are out on the cherry trees
It’s - Level - Four - but - E falling.
