🎸 Chorus:
G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
G+G           C majorC      G+G
Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home,
D7D7
Nights are so long, silence goes on,
C majorC            G+G       D7D7
I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong.

🎸 Verse:
G+G
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space
G+G             C majorC     D7D7
Take off your shoes, stay out of the race
D7D7
Lay down your head, on a soft river bed
C majorC             G+G      D MajorD
Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says.

🎸 Chorus:
G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
G+G             C majorC      G+G
Your Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home,
D7D7
Nights are so long, silence goes on,
C majorC            G+G       D7D7
I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong.

🎸 Verse:
G+G
Sonny works on the land, though he's barely a man
G+G               C majorC      G+G
There's not much to do but he does what he can
D7D7
Sits by his window in his room by the stairs
C majorC              G+G
Watching the waves drifting soft on the pier.

🎸 Verse:
G+G
Many years have passed on, Sonny's old and alone
G+G           C majorC     G+G
His Daddy the sailor, never came home
D7D7
Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been
C majorC            G+G          D7D7
But from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams.

🎸 Chorus:
G+G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

Your Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home,
D7D7
Nights are so long, silence goes on,
C majorC            G+G       D7D7
I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong.
G+G
Sonny don't go away,
