Chords for Sonny French - Silver Wings

A young bloke now that hails all the way from Sydney.
_ His daddy was in my band [Eb] for a long, long [Gb] time.
And he's a very, very [Abm] good friend of mine.
He was a groomsman, [Gm] a white wedding, and a fantastic man.
[D] So this fella, I don't even know how old this little man is,
but I'll tell you what, I'd rather put him on now
[Bb] so I don't have to really follow him and do anything,
[Gm] because it's very hard to follow kids like this.
Please make welcome Mr.
Sonny French,
and [Ab] hopefully his dad, Chewie.
[G] There we go. _ _
_ Hey, come on. _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ Quickly, just tell me, [D] how old are you?
Nine.
You're nine?
_ [Db] _ And you [D] like this song quite a bit, don't you?
Yeah.
Now, you like this song, I suppose,
because you listen to the same version that I grew up with,
so I've skipped another generation now to this fella.
And Chewie, [A] I wanna say, hearing him sing the other night
at the Biggest Night was amazing.
And have you guys got any other shows [G] during the week
that you've got a mention on stage as well? _
You just finished?
That's why I'm dressed up.
You're [Gm] dressed up in a third degree burnt run. _
Beautiful.
[F] That's Chewie's line, by the way.
Mr.
Sonny [G] French, I'm gonna hand it to you
to sing one of my favourite [Bb] Merle Haggag Haggag songs.
[E] So we're gonna hand it over to you.
[G] We're in the key of C, eh? _ _ _
