Capo: 3
I cooked up these chords for my dad so he and I could play this down at the local bar & restaurant and play with friends of ours. I hope you enjoy this classic Canadian tune. Capo 3 Verse 1:
Sonny lives Gon a farm on a wide open space Where you can taCke off your sneakers and give up the rGace You could lDay down your head by a sweet river bed But SoCnny always remembers what it was his Mama saGid D
Chorus:
Oh, Sonny doGn't go away, I am here all alone And your daCddy's a sailor who never comes hGome And the niDghts get so long and the silence goes on And I'm fCeeling so tired, I'm not all that stGrong D
Verse 2:
Sonny carGries a load though he's barely a man There ain't aCll that to do, still he does what he cGan And he waDtches the sea from a room by the stairs And the waCves keep on rollin', they've done that for yeGars D
Chorus:
Oh, Sonny dGon't go away, I am here all alone And your daCddy's a sailor who never comes hoGme And the nigDhts get so long and the silence goes on And I'm fCeeling so tired, I'm not all that stGrong D
Instrumental: D C G D Verse 3:
Sonny's drGeams can't be real, they're just stories he's read They're just stCars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his hGead And he's huDngry inside for the wide world outside And I kCnow I can't hold him though I've tried and I've trGied D
Chorus:
Oh, Sonny dGon't go away, I am here all alone And your dCaddy's a sailor who never comes hGome And the niDghts get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feCeling so tired, I'm not all that strGong D
