Chords for McGinty - Sonny's Dream

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
You can take off your sneakers [F] and give up [C] the race
[G] You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed
But [F] Sonny always remembers what [C] it was his mama _ [G] said _
_ _ [C] Sonny carries a load, he is bad, young and
There ain't a lot to do, still [F] he does [C] what he can
[G] And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
[F] And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that [C] for _ _ [G] _
years
Oh [C] Sonny, don't go away, I am here, oh Lord
And your daddy's a sailor [F] who never [C] comes home
[G] And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
And I'm [F] feelin' so tired, I'm [C] not all that _ [G] strong _
[A] Well [Em] [D] it's a hundred miles from town, Sonny's never been there
And he goes to the [G] highway and stands there and stares
And [A] the mail comes at four, and the mailman is [E] old
And [G] he's still dreaming his dreams, full of silver and _ _ [A] gold
_ Oh [D] Sonny, his dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, [G] they're just dreams in [D] his head
[G] And [A] he's hungry inside, for the wild world [C] outside
[G] And I know I can't hold him, I've tried and I've tried and [A] I've tried
_ Oh [D] Sonny, don't [Gm] go away, I am here, oh Lord
And your _ daddy's a sailor [E] who never [D] comes home
[A] And the nights get so long, and the silence goes [G] on
And I'm feelin' so tired, I'm not all that strong
[A] _ _
Oh [G] Sonny, don't go [D] away, I am here, oh Lord
And your _ daddy's a [G] sailor who never comes home
[A] And the nights get so long, and the silence goes [G] on
And I'm feelin' so tired, I'm not all that strong
