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.

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]
