sonny's dream
[C]Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space
[C]you can kick off your sneekers, and[F] give up th[C]e race
you can l[G]ay your self down, by a sweet river bed
sonny [F]always remembers, what it was his moma [C]sai[G]d__________
chorus
[C]sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
[C]and your daddy?s a sailor, and he[F] never comes[C] home
and the [G]nights get so long, and the silence goes on
and I?[F]m feeling so tired, I?m not all that st[C]ron[G]g_________
-------------------
[C]Sonny caries a load, He is barely a man
[C]there?s not all that much to do, still he [F]does the best he[C] can
and he l[G]ives in a room, at the top of the stairs
and the [F]sea keeps on rollin in it?s done that for [C]year[G]s________
chorus
[C]sonny don?t go away, I am here all alone
[C]and your daddy?s a singer, and he[F] never comes[C] home
and the [G]nights get so long, and the silence goes on
and I?[F]m feeling so tired, I?m not all that st[C]ron[G]g_________

[D]Towns a hundred miles away Sonny?s never been there

yet he[G]?s still dreaming dreams filled with silver and [D]gol[A]d
