Вступление
Beautiful version on Ron Hayes song sung by Caoimhe Hogarty on
Daoir Farrell's COVID Corner session on 7/5/2020. (First song on link)
[VERSE 1]
G G/C G G/C
Oh, Sonny lives on a farm in a wide open space
G C G
Where you can take off your shoes and give up the race
D
You could lay down your head by a soft river bed
C G D
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said
[VERSE 2]
G G/C G G/C
And he carries a load though he's barely a man
G C G
There ain't all that much to do, still he does what he can
D
And he watches the waves from his room by the stairs
C G D
And the waves keep on rolling, oh they've done that for years
[CHORUS]
G G/C G G/C
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
G C G
And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong
[VERSE 3]
G G/C G G/C
Oh, and It's a hundred miles to town, but Sonny's never been there
G C G
And he goes to the highway, and he sits and he stares
D
And the mail comes at 4, and the mailman is old
C G D
But he keeps dreaming his dreams, full of silver and gold
[CHORUS]
G G/C G G/C
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
G C G
And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[VERSE 3]
G G/C G G/C
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
G C G
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
D
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
C G D
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried, and I've tried
[CHORUS X2]
G G/C G G/C
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
G C G
And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
D
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
C G D
And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong
