SONNY LIVES ON A FARM, IN A WIDE OPEN SPACE. TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES,

    |D           A    |E                         |./.
STAY OUT OFF THE RACE. LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD, WITH A SOFT RIVER BED.

     |D                |A (2-count)|E
SONNY ALWAYS REMEMBERS, WORDS MAMMA SAID.

     |A                 |./.                 |./.             |
SONNY DON'T GO AWAY, I'M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY'S A SAILOR,

D           A    |E                  |./.
NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

   |D                    |A (2-count) |E
I'M FEELING SO TIRED. I'M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.

SONNY WORKS ON THE LAND, THOUGH HE'S BEARLY A MAN, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO,

      |D            A   |E                         |./.               |
BUT HE DOES WHAT HE CAN. SITS BY HIS WINDOW, IN HIS ROOM BY THE STAIRS,

D                           |A (2-count)|E
WATCHING THE WAVES, DRIFTING SOFT  AND A-PEAR.
======================================================================CHORUS:

     |A                 |./.                 |./.             |
SONNY DON'T GO AWAY, I'M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY'S A SAILOR,

D           A    |E                  |./.
NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

   |D                    |A (2-count) |E    |
I'M FEELING SO TIRED. I'M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.
