C
Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
C				   F	      C
you can take off your sneekers, and give up the race
	G
you can lay down your head, by a sweet river bed
	   F					 C  G
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said......

C
Sonny carries a load, He is barely a man
C				F	      C
there aint a-lot 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.....

Chorus
C
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
C			      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.....

D
Well its a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
D			       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
aww but, he still dreams his dreams, full of silver and gold....

(Chorus) ((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))

D
Sonny's dreams can't be real, there just stories he's read
D				         G		D
there just stars in his eyes, there 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, Oh I've tried and I tried and I tried

(Chorus) X 2((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
