Sun Son by Judy Collins
Sun Son
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C Em Am E Am E Am Bb D G C
[Verse 1]
Oh father, come to the window
F G C
Look over yonder lake
F G
At the wondrous golden city
C
Beyond the icy wake
In my short life we’ve passed this way
F G C
Ten times or more
F G
And never did this city
C
Rise up on that far shore
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F
That’s the Sun son, shining on the water
G
It’s not Cairo, New York or Rome
Dm Am F
And just a matter of hours before you see your mama
G C
Waiting for you back at home
[Verse 2]
Big buildings at it’s centre
F G C
Stand ablaze with light
F G
While lesser spires around these
C
Entrap the beams in flight
Oh look now, I see people
F G C
With faces small and fine
F G
And in their midst just staring
C
A boy’s face like mine
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F
That’s the Sun son, shining on the water
G
It’s not Cairo, New York or Rome
Dm Am F
And just a matter of hours before you see your mama
G
Waiting for you back at home
[Instrumental]
Dm Am F G Dm Am F G C
[Verse 3]
The Sun was shrinking ’cause night was falling
F G C
And the boy went off to sleep
F G
His wondrous city vanished
C
Into the icy deep
The Moon was rising ’cause night had fallen
F G
And all was as before
C F G
As we made our way past the countless pines
C
On the cold lake’s northern shore
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F
That’s the Sun son, shining on the water
G
It’s not Cairo, New York or Rome
Dm Am F
And just a matter of hours before you see your mama
G
Waiting for you back at home
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F
That’s the Sun son, shining on the water
G
It’s not Cairo, New York or Rome
Dm Am F
And just a matter of hours before you see your mama
G C
Waiting for you back at home
