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.

[Chorus]
    F                Bb                  F                C
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
      F                      Bb          F              C             F     Bb F

[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.)
