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
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.)

Chorus:
