Chorus:
F Bb F C
The sun is a mass of incadescant gas. a gigantic nuclear furnace.
F Bb F C F Bb F
Where hydrogene is built into heilium at a temperature of millions of degrees
Verse:
F Bb F C
The sun is hot. the sun is not a place where we could live.
F Bb F C Bb F
But here on earth there'd be no life with out the light it gives.
F Bb F C
We need it's light we need it's heat. The sunlight that we see.
F Bb F C Bb F
The sunlight comes from our own suns atomic energy.

Bridge:
F Bb
The sun is hot....
(The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas. Aluminum, copper, iron,
and many others)
F Bb
The sun is large...
(If the sun were hollow a million earths would fit inside. and yet it
is only a middle sized star)
F Bb C
The sun is far away...
(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 site the sun shines night and day.
F Bb F Bb F C
We need it's heat. We need it's light. the sunlight that we see
F Bb C F Bb F
The sunlight comes from our own suns atomic energy
( Scientist have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine. The
heat and light of the sun are caused by nuclear reactions between hydrogen,
nitrogen, carbon, and helium.)
