From This Might Be A Wiki

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Intro: F - Bb - F - - -


Chorus:

   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.


1. |: F Bb 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

   C                F  /  Bb  F  :|

Without the light it gives.


|: F Bb F Bb We need its light, we need its heat,

   F         -         C    -

We need its energy;

   F       -        Bb    -

Without the sun, without a doubt

       C             F  /  Bb  F  :|

There'd be no you and me.


Chorus

   F      Bb

The sun is hot...

       It is so hot that everything on it is a gas.  Iron, copper,
       aluminum, and many others.
   F      Bb

The sun is large...

       If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside.  And
       yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.
   F      Bb   C

The sun is far away...

       About 93 million miles away - and that's why it looks so small.

|: F Bb And even when it's out of sight

   C                    F /  Bb  F  :|

The sun shines night and day.


|: F Bb F Bb The sun gives heat; the sun gives light -

   F         -      C    -

The sunlight that we see;

   F       -      Bb    -

The sunlight comes from our own sun's

C F / Bb F  :| Atomic energy...

       Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing
       machine.  The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear
       reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.


Chorus:

   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.
