F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
a gigantic nuclear furnace

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
where hydrogen is built into helium

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
at a temperature of millions of degrees.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
a place where we could live,

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
but here on earth there'd be no life

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
without the light it gives.

F baritone chordF
We need it's light,

Bb baritone chordBb
we need it's heat,

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
we need it's energy.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
Without the sun, without a doubt,

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
there'd be no you and me.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
a gigantic nuclear furnace

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
where hydrogen is built into helium

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
at a temperature of millions of degrees.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sun is hot.


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 baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sun is large.


The sun is so large, a million earths could fit inside and yet, the sun's just a middle-sized star.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb C baritone chordC
The sun is far away.


It's about 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
But even when it's out of sight

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
it shines bold night and day.

F baritone chordF
The sun gives light,

Bb baritone chordBb
the sun gives heat,

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
the sunlight that we see.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sunlight comes from our own sun's

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
atomic energy.


Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-crushing machine. The heat and light from the sun are comes by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
a gigantic nuclear furnace

F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb
where hydrogen is built into helium

F baritone chordF C baritone chordC F baritone chordF Bb baritone chordBb F baritone chordF
at a temperature of millions of degrees.
