Liam Clancy - Sonny's Dream
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
C G
You can take off your sneakers and give up the race
D
You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed
C G D
Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said___
[CHORUS:]
G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
C G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
[VERSE 2:]
G
Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
C G
There ain't all that much to do, still he does what he can
D
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
C G D
And the waves keep on rolling, they've done that for years and for years
[CHORUS:]
G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
C G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
[VERSE 3:]
G
It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
C G
But he goes to the highway and he stands there and stares
D
And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
C G D
Sonny still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold___
[VERSE 4:]
G
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
C G
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
D
And he hungers inside for that wide world outside
C G D
But he knows it can't hold him, though he's tried and he's tried___
[CHORUS:]
G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
C G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
[CHORUS:]
G
Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
C G
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D C G
I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
