C
Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space
C                                  F          C
you can kick off your sneekers, and give up the race
         G
you can lay your self down, by a sweet river bed
      F                                      C  G
sonny always remembers, what it was his moma said__________
chorus
C
sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
C                                F           C
and your daddy?s a sailor, and he 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?s not all that much to do, still he does the best he can
        G
and he lives in a room, at the top of the stairs
        F                                         C   G
and the sea keeps on rollin in it?s done that for years________
chorus
C
sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
C                                F           C
and your daddy?s a singer, and he 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_________

D                                  G                D
he just goes to the highway and he stands there and stares
        A
and the mail comes at four and the mail man is old
      G                                               D  A
yet he?s still dreaming dreams filled with silver and gold
