|: F Bb F Bb
The sun is 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.

We need its light, we need its heat,
F - C -
The sunlight that we see
F - Bb -
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
C F / Bb F :|
Atomic energy
Chorus
F Bb
The sun is hot...
The sun 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, it 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
But even when it's out of sight
C F / Bb F :|
The sun shines night and day.
|: F Bb F Bb
We need its heat, we need its 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 are caused by the nuclear
reactions between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and helium.
