Am D
Take Sonny, he's a real go-getter
Am D
A regular man about town
Am D
He's got the world revolving around the music
G C
And keeping his ear to the ground
Am D
He falls asleep behind his dark sunglasses
Am D
And whispers the words with a smile
Am D
D I double G, I love ya, baby
G C
I ain't seen your face in awhile
A
She ain't keeping score, he don't owe her anything
C
But she ain't gonna sit around
D
Waiting for the phone to ring
Chorus:
G A D
Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away
C
Save them for a rainy day, yea, yea, yea
G A D
An IOU could break her heart in two
C
She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy
Am D
Am D
He's got his servant and his own dumbwaiter
Am D
To answer the phone when you call
Am D
Sorry, Sonny's underneath the weather
G C
Try him back later next fall

Am D
The boss called him out to California
Am D
Let Hollywood make you a star
Am D
Now he's on the Music Television
G C
And driving a Cadillac car
A
Funny how fame and money does what it can
C
To bring about change in the boy
D
The clothes don't make the man
Chorus:
G A D
Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away
C
Save them for a rainy day, yea, yea, yea
G A D
An IOU could break her heart in two
C
She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy
B D A
oooh oh oh
B Em D A
It's a game you just can't win Ooooh oh oh
B C
Though it never will be the same again
D
Fair-weather friend
G A D C, G A D C... Am D
Am D
I don't think we've heard the last of Sonny
Am D
He can't get it off of his mind
Am D
He wants to laugh, but he don't think it's funny
G C
A conscience can turn on a dime
A
When he was a boy, they taught him the Golden Rule
C D
Take him for anything, but don't take him for a fool
Chorus:
G A D
Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away
C
Save them for a rainy day, yea, yea, yea
G A D
An IOU could break her heart in two
C
She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy
