Sonnys Dream

C
Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide 
open space
C                                  
you can kick off your sneekers, and
F          C
 give up the race
         G
you can lay your self down, by a 
sweet river bed
      F                            
sonny always remembers, what it was
          C  G
 his moma said__________
chorus
C
sonny don?t go away, I am here all 
alone
C                                
and your daddy?s a sailor, and he
F           C
 never comes home
        G
and the nights get so long, and the 
silence goes on
      F                          
and I?m feeling so tired, I?m not 
            C  G
all that strong_________

           F               C
still he does the best he can
        G
and he lives in a room, at the top 
of the stairs
        F                          
and the sea keeps on rollin in it?s

F           C
 never comes home

and I?m feeling so tired, I?m not

Towns a hundred miles away Sonny?s

G                D
stands there and stares
        A
and the mail comes at four and the 
mail man is old
      G                       
yet he?s still dreaming dreams
