B --------------11--9--11---11--9-------------9--9--9-10-----------
G ----------------------------------11--10-11----------------------
D -----------------------------------------------------------------
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------

  where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees

E --9---11-11-9--9-----------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------11---9-9--11-9----------9--9--9---9---11--11--9---9-----

Ok, this is pretty rough but it sounds good. The rythum in this is bad
if not completely wrong, so ignore it.

The sun is a mass...
---------------------------------------------------
-1--3--1-1---------------------------------1-3-1---
------------2---0-2-0-------------------2----------
--------------3--------3--0-----3--3-3-------------
----------------------------3-3--------------------
---------------------------------------------------

Then vary the same notes to get the right rythum for the words.

The sun is hot... (again for the sun is large)
-----------------
--3--1-----------
-------2---------
---------3-------
-----------------
-----------------

The sun is far away...
----------------
--3--1----------
-------2-0---0--
-----------3----
----------------
----------------

Then the ending bit, sorry don't know the words.

-----------------------------------------------
------------------------1-1-1-1----------------

----3------3---------------------3-------------
--3--------------------------------------------
