CSonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
CAnd your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes homeF  C  
And the nights Gget so long, and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling Fso tired, I’m not all that strongC  G  
- - -
CSonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space
CAnd you can take off your sneakers, and gFive up the raceC  
And you can lay Gyourself down, by a sweet river bed
But Sonny Falways remembers, what it was his mama said, and she saidC  G  
- - -
CSonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
CAnd your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes homeF  C  
And the nights Gget so long, and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling Fso tired, I’m not all that strongC  G  
- - -
CSonny caries a load, He is barely a man
CThere ain’t nothin’ to do, still he does what hFe canC  
And he watchGes the sea from a room by the stairs 
The waveFs keep on rollin'  they’ve done that for yearsC  G  
- - -
CSonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
CAnd your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes homeF  C  
And the nights Gget so long, and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling Fso tired, I’m not all that strongC  G  
- - -
CIt’s a hundred miles to town, Sonny’s never been there
CYet he walks to the highway and stands there and sFtaresC  
And the mail cGomes at four and the mail man is old
But he still Fdreams his dreams of silver and goldC  G  
- - -
CSonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
CAnd your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes homeF  C  
And the nights Gget so long, and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling Fso tired, I’m not all that strongC  G  
- - -
CSonny’s dreams can’t be real
They’re just stories he’s read
They’re just stars in his eyes
Just dreaFms in his headC  
He is hunGgry inside for the wild world outside
And I know FI can’t hold on, I’ve tried, and I’Cve tried, and I’vGe tried
- - -
CSonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
CAnd your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes homeF  C  
And the nights Gget so long, and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling Fso tired, I’m not all that strongC  G
