Sonny [/] [G] lives on a [/] farm, on a [/] wide open [/] space
Where you can [/] [G] take off your [/] shoes and [/] [C] give up the [/] [G] race
You could [/] [D] lay down your [/] head, by a [/] sweet river- [/] bed
But Sonny [/] [C] always re- [/] members, what it [/] was his mama [/] 
[/] [G] sai- ai- [/] [D] aid [/] [D↓] 


{soc}
Oh, Sonny [/] [G] don’t go a- [/] way, I am [/] here all a- [/] lone
Your [/] [G] daddy’s a [/] sailor, who [/] [C] never comes [/] [G] home
All these [/] [D] nights get so [/] long, and the [/] silence goes [/] on
And I’m [/] [C] feeling so [/] tired, I’m [/] not all that [/] 
[/] [G] stro- o- [/] [D] ong [/] [D] 
{eoc}


Sonny [/] [G] carries a [/] load, though he’s [/] barely a [/] man
There ain’t [/] [G] all that to [/] do, still he [/] [C] does what he [/] [G] can
And he [/] [D] watches the [/] sea, from a [/] room by the [/] stairs
And the [/] [C] waves keep on [/] rollin’, they’ve [/] done that for [/] 
[/] [G] years and for [/] [D] years [/] [D]

Oh, Sonny [/] [G] don’t go a- [/] way, I am [/] here all a- [/] lone

And I’m [/] [C] feeling so [/] tired, I’m [/] not all that [/]

It’s a [/] [G] hundred miles to [/] town, Sonny’s [/] never been [/] there
And he [/] [G] goes to the [/] highway and [/] [C] stands there and [/] [G] stares
And the [/] [D] mail comes at [/] four, and the [/] mailman is [/] old
Oh but he [/] [C] still dreams his [/] dreams full of [/] silver and [/] 
[/] [G] go- o- o- [/] [D] old [/] [D]

Sonny’s [/] [G] dreams can’t be [/] real, they’re just [/] stories he’s [/] read
They’re just [/] [G] stars in his [/] eyes, they’re just [/] [C] dreams in his [/] [G] head
And he’s [/] [D] hungry in- [/] side, for the [/] wide world out- [/] side
And I [/] [C] know I can’t [/] hold him though I’ve [/] tried and I’ve 
[/] [G] tried and I’ve [/] [D] tried [/] [D]

Oh, Sonny [/] [G] don’t go a- [/] way, I am [/] here all a- [/] lone
