[Chorus]
F Bb F C
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
F Bb F C F Bb F
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
[Verse]
F Bb F Bb F C
Yo, ho! It's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live.
F Bb C F Bb F
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives.
F Bb F Bb C
We need its light, we need its heat, we need its energy.
F Bb C F Bb F
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me.
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
[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 F Bb F
But even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day.
F Bb F Bb F C
The sun gives light, the sun gives heat, the sunlight that we see
F Bb C F Bb F
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
(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.)
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
