 C                                            
 Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space
 C                                  F          C     
 you can kick off your sneekers, and give up the race
          G                                      
 you can lay your self down, by a sweet river bed
       F                                      C  G          
 sonny always remembers, what it was his moma said__________
 chorus
 C                                       
 sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
 C                                F           C    
 and your daddy?s a sailor, and he 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 caries a load, He is barely a man
 C                                         F               C   
 there?s 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 rollin in it?s done that for years________
 chorus
 C                                       
 sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
 C                                F           C    
 and your daddy?s a singer, and he 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                                  G                D
