Summer Solstice
Reasons for Seasons Jeffrey Hale ©2006
Time flies when you’re having fun, Bm A Bm A
as the Earth revolves around the sun. Bm A Bm A
All it takes is just one year. G F# E
in a single revolution. Bm A Bm A
Chorus
Winter, spring, summer, fall D
What’s your favorite season of all? A
The Earth revolves, it’s a leaning. Bm A Bm A
That’s the reason for the seasons. Bm A Bm A
Draw a picture of Earth’s position. Bm A Bm A
The sun’s in the center of the solar system. Bm A Bm A
Set the Earth in motion G F# E
around the sun in revolution. Bm A Bm A
Draw an axis from north to south. Bm A Bm A
But don’t draw it straight up and down. Bm A Bm A
At an angle if you please at 23 degrees. G F# E Bm A Bm A
Repeat chorus
When the Earth is here it’s winter time.
At one of the poles the sun don’t shine.
It tilts away from the sun
and it is cool for everyone.
In the summer time the Earth is here.
It’s a much hotter time of year.
It’s tilted toward the sun. It shines on everyone.
It’s tilted toward the sun. Light shines on everyone
Repeat chorus
Bridge
September or March 21st, G B/D A G
the sun shines equal all over the Earth.
It’s a time of year that really rocks.
It’s the vernal equinox. A G Bm A
Repeat chorus
