Sonnys Dream

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
      G
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
                                      Cadd9           G
Where you can take off your shoes and give up the race
          D
You could lay down your head by a sweet river bed
            Cadd9
But Sonny always remembers what it was his
G/B Gsus2/A    G   D
Mama       said eh eh

[Chorus]
               G
Oh, Sonny don't go away,
I am here all alone
                              Cadd9       G
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
                D
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
        Cadd9
And I'm feeling so tired,
   Cadd9    G/B     Gsus2/A G
I'm     not all that        strong

[Verse 2]
D      G
 Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
There ain't all that to do,
         Cadd9           G
still he does what he can
       D
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
             Cadd9
And the waves     keep on rollin',
             G/B  Gsus2/A G
they've done that for     years
And for years

[Chorus]
D               G
 Oh, Sonny don't go away,
I am here all alone
                              Cadd9       G
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
                D
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
        Cadd9
And I'm feeling so tired,
        G/B Gsus2/A G
I'm not all that    strong

[Interlude]
D Cadd9 G/B Gsus2/A G

[Verse 3]
D        G
 Sonny's dreams can't be real,
they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes,
             Cadd9             G
they're just dreams in his head
         D
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
      Cadd9                                  G/B    Gsus2/A
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried   and I've
G              D
tried and I've tried

[Chorus]
               G
Oh, Sonny don't go away,
I am here all alone
                              Cadd9       G
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
                D
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
        Cadd9
And I'm feeling so tired,
        G/B Gsus2/A G
I'm not all that    strong

[Outro]
D               G
 Oh, Sonny don't go away,
I am here all alone
                              Cadd9       G
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
                D
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
        Cadd9
And I'm feeling so tired,
        G/B Gsus2/A G
I'm not all that    strong
D G/B Gsus2/A G
