[Am]Take Sonny, he's a [D]real go-getter
A r[Am]egular man about [D]town
[Am]He's got the world revolving [D]around the music
And [G]keeping his ear to the [C]ground
[Am]He falls asleep behind his [D]dark sunglasses
And[Am] whispers the words with a [D]smile
[Am]D I double G, I l[D]ove ya, baby
I [G]ain't seen your face in a[C]while
[A]She ain't keeping score, he don't owe her anything
[C]But she ain't gonna sit around
[D]Waiting for the phone to ring
Chorus:
[G]Sonny Boy, don't t[A]ake your toys a[D]way
Save them for a [C]rainy day, yea, yea, yea
[G]An IOU could b[A]reak her heart in t[D]wo
She thought you were the [C]real McCoy, Sonny Boy
[Am] [D]
[Am]He's got his servant and his [D]own dumbwaiter
[Am]To answer the phone when you [D]call
[Am]Sorry, Sonny's undern[D]eath the weather
[G]Try him back later next[C] fall
[Am]The boss called him out to [D]California
Let [Am]Hollywood make you a s[D]tar
[Am]Now he's on the Music [D]Television
And [G]driving a Cadillac c[C]ar
[A]Funny how fame and money does what it can
[C]To bring about change in the boy
[D]The clothes don't make the man
Chorus:
[G]Sonny Boy, don't t[A]ake your toys a[D]way
Save them for a [C]rainy day, yea, yea, yea
[G]An IOU could b[A]reak her heart in t[D]wo
She thought you were the [C]real McCoy, Sonny Boy
[B] o[D]ooh oh [A]oh
It's a [B]game you just can't [Em]win O[D]oooh oh o[A]h
Though it n[B]ever will be the same a[C]gain
F[D]air-weather friend
G A D C, G A D C... Am D
[Am]I don't think we've heard the l[D]ast of Sonny
He [Am]can't get it off of his [D]mind
[Am]He wants to laugh, but he don't [D]think it's funny
A c[G]onscience can turn on a [C]dime
[A]When he was a boy, they taught him the Golden Rule
[C]Take him for anything, but d[D]on't take him for a fool
Chorus:
[G]Sonny Boy, don't t[A]ake your toys a[D]way
Save them for a [C]rainy day, yea, yea, yea
[G]An IOU could b[A]reak her heart in t[D]wo
