Mary Black - Sonnys dream

^CSonny lives on a farm on a wide open space Where you can take off your sneakers and ^Fgive up the ^Crace You could ^Glay down your head by a sweet river bed But Sonny ^Falways remembers what it was his Mama ^Csaid^G

Oh Sonny don't^C go away I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never^F comes home ^C And the night^Gs get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeli^Fng so tired I'm not all that strong^{C G}

Sonny^C carries a load though he's barely a man There ain't all that to do still ^Fhe does what he^C can And he ^Gwatches the sea from a room by the stairs And the^F waves keep on rollin' they've done ^Cthat for ye^Gars

Oh Sonny do^Cn't go away I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never^F comes home ^C And the night^Gs get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeli^Fng so tired I'm not all that stron^Cg ^G

And it's^C a hundred miles to town Sonny's never been there And he goes to the highway and stands^F there and st^Cares And the m^Gail comes at four and the mailman is old Oh but he^F still dreams his dreams full of silver^C and go^Gld

Oh Sonny do^Cn't go away I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never^F comes home ^C And the night^Gs get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeli^Fng so tired I'm not all that strong^{C G}

Sonny's ^Cdreams can't be real they're just stories he's read They're just stars in his eyes they're just dr^Feams in his hea^Cd And he's hu^Gngry inside for the wide world outside And I kn^Fow I can't hold him though I've tri^Ced and I've tr^Gied

Oh Sonny do^Cn't go away I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never^F comes home ^C And the night^Gs get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeli^Fng so tired I'm not all that strong^{C G}
