Órla Fallon - Sonny
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Sonny Glives on a farm, in a wide open space
Take off your shoes, Stay Cout of the Grace
DLay down your head, with a soft river bed
Sonny Calways remembers, the Gwords mamma Dsaid
[Chorus]
Sonny Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone
Your daddy’s a sailor, Cnever comes Ghome
DNights are so long, silence goes on
I’m Cfeeling so tired, I’m Gnot all that Dstrong
[Verse 2]
Sonny Gworks on the land, though he’s barely a man
There’s not much to do, but he Cdoes what he Gcan
DSits by his window, in his room by the stairs
CWatching the waves, drifting Gsoft on the Dpier
[Chorus]
Sonny Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone
Your daddy’s a sailor, Cnever comes Ghome
DNights are so long, silence goes on
I’m Cfeeling so tired, I’m Gnot all that Dstrong
[Instrumental]
G         C  G  D       C     G  D
[Verse 3]
Many Gyears have rolled on, sonny’s old and alone
His daddy’s a sailor, Cnever came Ghome
DSometimes he wonders, what his life might have been
CStill, from the grave, mamma’s Gvoice haunts his Ddreams
[Chorus]
Sonny Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone
Your daddy’s a sailor, Cnever comes Ghome
DNights are so long, silence goes on
I’m Cfeeling so tired, I’m Gnot all that Dstrong
[Outro]
Sonny Gdon’t go away
