                          Sonnys Dream 






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
