[Chorus]
C
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
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
[Verse 1]
C
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide-open space
F C
You can take off your sneakers and give up the race
G
You could lay down your head by a sweet river bed
F C G
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said
[Verse 2]
C
Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
F C
There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can
G
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
F C G
And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that for years and for years (Help us out)
[Chorus]
C
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
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
[Key Change]
[Verse 3]
D
And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
G D
And he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
A
And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
G D A
Oh, but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold
[Verse 4]
D
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
G D
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
A
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
G D A
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried and I’ve tried
[Chorus]
D
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
G D
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
A
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
G D A
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
D
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
G D
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
A
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
G D A
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
