Sonnys Dream

(início)

C
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
                                         F           C
Where 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
              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
     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
           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
        C
And it's a hundred miles to town Sonny's never been there
                                     F            C
And he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
         G
And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
         F                                      C      G
Oh but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold
           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
        C
Sonny's dreams can't be real they're just stories he's read
                                              F              C
They're just stars in his eyes they're just dreams in his head
           G
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
        F                                  C             G
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried
           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
