Sonnys Dream Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Sonny Clives on a farm on a wide open space

 Where you can take off your sneakers and Fgive up the Crace

 You could Glay down your head by a sweet river bed

 But Sonny Falways remembers what it was his Mama CsaidG

The chords are the same throughout, but ill list them again in the chorus for

timing references. thank you, michael

Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man

There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can

And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs

And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that for years

 cho: Oh, Sonny Cdon't go away, I am here all alone

  And your daddy's a sailor who Fnever comes Chome

  And the Gnights get so long and the silence goes on

  And I'm Ffeeling so tired, I'm not all that CstronGg

And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there

And he goes to the highway and stands there and stares

And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old

Oh, but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold

Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read

They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head

And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside

And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home

And the nights get so long and the silence goes on

And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
