Chords
pin

F    Bb    F    C    F  Bb  F

    F                Bb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

F                  C
a gigantic nuclear furnace

      F                      Bb
where hydrogen is built into helium

F                   C           F         Bb F
at a temperature of millions of degrees.

F                    Bb
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not

F                      C
a place where we could live,

    F                           Bb
but here on earth there'd be no life

F           C         F      Bb F
without the light it gives.

  F
We need it's light,

Bb
we need it's heat,

 F           C
we need it's energy.

   F                Bb
Without the sun, without a doubt,

 F                 C   F  Bb  F
there'd be no you and me.

   F                  Bb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

F                C
a gigantic nuclear furnace 

      F                      Bb
where hydrogen is built into helium

 F             C           F  Bb F
at a temperature of millions of degrees.

    F      Bb
The sun is hot.


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.


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.


It's about 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

    F             Bb
But even when it's out of sight

F         C              F      Bb  F
it shines bold night and day.

     F          
The sun gives light,

  Bb  
the sun gives heat,

   F         Bb         F
the sunlight that we see.

      F             Bb               
The sunlight comes from our own sun's

 F   C      F    Bb F
atomic energy.


Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-crushing machine. The heat and light from the sun are comes by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.

    F                  Bb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

          F                C
a gigantic nuclear furnace

        F                      Bb     
where hydrogen is built into helium

        F             C           F  Bb F
at a temperature of millions of degrees.
