Sonny Dream

[C]Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
[C]you can take off your sneekers, and[F] give up th[C]e race
you can [G]lay down your head, by a sweet river bed
But Sonny a[F]lways remembers, what it was his mama [C]sai[G]d......

[C]Sonny carries a load, He is barely a man
[C]there aint a-lot to do, still he[F] does what he [C]can
and he w[G]atches the sea, from a room by the stairs
and the [F]waves keep on rollin, they've done that for [C]year[G]s.....

[C]Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
[C]and your Daddy's a sailor who [F]never comes [C]home
and the [G]nights get so long, and the silence goes on
and I'[F]m feeling so tired, I'm not all that s[C]tron[G]g.....

[D]Well its a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
[D]and he goes to the highway and [G]stands there and [D]stares
and the [A]mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
aww but, he[G] still dreams his dreams, full of silver and [D]gol[A]d....

(Chorus) ((Substitute [D] for [C], [G] for [F], and [A] for [G]))

[D]Sonny's dreams can't be real, there just stories he's read
[D]there just stars in his eyes, there just [G]dreams in his h[D]ead
and he's h[A]ungry inside, for the wide world outside
and I kn[G]ow i can't hold him, Oh I've tried and I t[D]ried and I [A]tried

(Chorus) X 2((Substitute [D] for [C], [G] for [F], and [A] for [G]))
