Sonny's Dream

• C

C 
Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone 

C                                              F                C 
And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home 
  
               G 
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on 

               F                                       C       G 
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong

C 
Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space 

C                                        F                                C 
And you can take off your sneakers, and give up the race 

               G 
And you can lay yourself down, by a sweet river bed 

          F                                                          C           G 
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said, and she said

C 
Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone 

C                                              F                C 
And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home 
  
               G 
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on 

               F                                       C       G 
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong

C 
Sonny caries a load, He is barely a man 

C                                              F                  C 
There ain’t nothin’ to do, still he does what he can 

            G 
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs  

        F                                                      C         G 
The waves keep on rollin'  they’ve done that for years

C 
Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone 

C                                              F                C 
And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home 
  
               G 
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on 

               F                                       C       G 
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong

C 
It’s a hundred miles to town, Sonny’s never been there 

C                                                 F                      C 
Yet he walks to the highway and stands there and stares 

              G 
And the mail comes at four and the mail man is old 

            F                                                   C  G 
But he still dreams his dreams of silver and gold

C 
Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone 

C                                              F                C 
And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home 
  
               G 
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on 

               F                                       C       G 
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong

C 
Sonny’s dreams can’t be real 


They’re just stories he’s read 


They’re just stars in his eyes 

         F                  C 
Just dreams in his head 

         G 
He is hungry inside for the wild world outside 

           F                                  C                G 
And I know I can’t hold on, I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, and I’ve tried

C 
Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone 

C                                              F                C 
And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home 
  
               G 
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on 

               F                                       C       G 
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong
