Sonny The Strong chords by Gaz Coombes

Key: Am

Tuning: Standard



🎸 Verse 1:

Am        G6
Sonny the Strong
     C        Fmaj7
paid over the odds
Am           G6
Nobody could hear the
C           Fmaj7
call of his pain
       Dm      Em
He was already aching
G       Fmaj7
so many scars
       Am     G6
From a lonely life
       C          Fmaj7
in and out of the bars

🎸 Verse 2:
         Am   G6     C  Fmaj7
He had a fire raging inside
Am        G6      C           Fmaj7
The only way that he could survive
Em     G            Fmaj7
But it took all his faith
E
Till he soon became
E
The champion
E7
the unknown king


🎸 Verse 3:

Am          G6
Now at the top, life was
C         Fmaj7
never the same
     Am             G6
When all they could hear
        C           Fmaj7
was the call of his name
          Am          G6
He wanted love but it lost him
C          Fmaj7
all of the time
          Am     G6
Well, it's hard to find
          C         Fmaj7
when your love lies bleeding

🎸 Bridge:

G
Oh, then the thing comes
F
And they don't wanna see you
G
He fought with his demons
E
The money and the mob,

the hole he was in
E
The light that was a fight
     E7
that he couldn't win

Am G6 C Fmaj7
Am G6 C Fmaj7


🎸 Verse 4:

Am        G6
Sonny the Fighter went
C        Fmaj7
over the top
          Am           G6
He traded gloves for a rifle
         C           Fmaj7
and they sent him to war
         Dm          Em
It was a deal that cost him
G       Fmaj7
so much more
            Am      G6
'Cause it's hard to fight
          C           Fmaj7
when your friends lie bleeding


🎸 Bridge:

G
You know when the game's up
F
When there's no entertainers
G
Just left with his demons
E
The fatherless child,

the outcast within
E
Well, that was a fight
     E7
that he couldn't win


🎸 Chorus:

Am G6  C         Fmaj7
   Oh
Sonny the Strong
Am G6  C         Fmaj7
   Oh
Sonny the Fighter
Am G6  C         Fmaj7
   Oh
Sonny the Strong
Dm        Em
  Hard to fight when your
G           Fmaj7
friends lie bleeding
                 Am G6  C Fmaj7
Your friends lie bleeding

Am G6 C Fmaj7
Am G6 C Fmaj7

         Am      G6
Ooh It's hard to fight
          C           Fmaj7
when your friends lie bleeding
