CAPO: 2


Intro: G+G

verse 1:

Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
                                   C majorC           G+G
You can take off your sneakers and give up the race
        D MajorD
You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed
      C majorC                                   G+G   D MajorD
Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said___


      G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
                          C majorC           G+G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
        D MajorD
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
    C majorC                                  G+G   D MajorD
I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong


verse 2:
      G+G
Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
                                          C majorC            G+G
There ain't all that much to do, still he does what he can
       D MajorD
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
        C majorC                                            G+G             D MajorD
And the waves keep on rolling, they've done that for years and for years

      G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
                          C majorC           G+G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
        D MajorD
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
    C majorC                                     G+G   D MajorD
I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong


verse 3:
       G+G
It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
                                  C majorC                G+G
But he goes to the highway and he stands there and stares
        D MajorD
And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
      C majorC                                          G+G    D MajorD
Sonny still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold___


verse 4:
        G+G
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
                                             C majorC             G+G
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
       D MajorD
And he hungers inside for that wide world outside
       C majorC                                                   G+G    D MajorD
But he knows it can't hold him, though he's tried and he's tried___


      G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
                          C majorC           G+G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
        D MajorD
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
    C majorC                                  G+G   D MajorD
I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

      G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
                          C majorC           G+G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
        D MajorD
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
    C majorC                                     G+G   D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
