Ron Heinz - Sonny's Dream guitar chord

C

sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space

C F C

you can kick off your sneakers and give up the race

G

you can lay down your head by a sweet river bed

F C G

sonny always remembers the words his momma said_______

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

i'm feeling so tired i'm not all that strong_______

C

Sonny caries a load, he is barely a man

C F C

theres 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 rolling it's done that for years

sonny don¹t go away, I am here all alone

C F C

and your daddy¹s a sailor, and he never comes home

G

and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on

F C G

and I¹m feeling so tired, I¹m not all that strong_________
