The chorus is actually played after each verse
but i was way too lazy to type it up that many times.
So remember to play it after each verse.
These are definitely the correct chords.
Standard tuning- E-A-D-G-B-E
Sonny [C]lives on a farm on a wide open space
Where you can take off your sneakers and [F]give up the [C]race
You could [G]lay down your head by a sweet river bed
But Sonny [F]always remembers what it was his Mama [C]said[G]
The chords are the same throughout, but ill list them again in the chorus for
timing references. thank you, michael
Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that for years
cho: Oh, Sonny [C]don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who [F]never comes [C]home
And the [G]nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm [F]feeling so tired, I'm not all that [C]stron[G]g
And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
And he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
Oh, but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
This is a great song by a newfie named Ron Hynes, the man of a thousand songs.
There is several versions of sonnys dream, but Ron Hynes wrote it.
originally with the title
"whos the father of that son that looks so much like me".. enjoy !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?vbyQBsH-iQQs to watch Ron Hynes perform.
It is him performing at the EMCA's. There might also be a video of him
opening up for the steve miller band. I know he opened up here in Corner
Brook and also somewhere in Halifax. Thanks for your time !
