The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic 
        C
nuclear furnace.
      F                      Bb          F             
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of
 C             F     Bb F
 millions of degrees

[Verse]
    F        Bb       F      Bb    F                   
Yo, ho! It's hot, the sun is not a place where we could
 C
 live.
    F                     Bb             C             
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light 
   F     Bb F
it gives.
   F        Bb        F        Bb                
We need its light, we need its heat, we need its 
    C
energy.
    F                Bb                   C            
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and
 F   Bb  F
 me.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
    F      Bb
The sun is hot....

(SPOKEN: The sun is so hot... that everything on it is 
a gas.

Copper, iron, aluminum, on the surface of the sun, are 
all gas!)

    F      Bb
The sun is large...

(SPOKEN: The sun is so large... a million earths could 
fit inside,

and yet the sun's just a middle-sized star!)

    F       Bb   C
The sun  is far away...

(SPOKEN: It's about ninty-three million miles away. And
 that's why it looks so small!)

    F              Bb                C                
But even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night 
    F    Bb  F
and day.
    F         Bb         F         Bb        F        
The sun gives light, the sun gives heat, the sunlight 
        C
that we see
    F                   Bb             C         F    
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
Bb F


(SPOKEN: Scientists have found that the sun is a huge 
atom-crushing machine. The
heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear 
reactions between hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and 
helium.)
