TRANSCRIBED BY MIKE DIXON

C
Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
C F C
you can take off your sneekers, and give up the race
G
you can lay down your head, by a sweet river bed
F C G
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said......
C
Sonny carries a load, He is barely a man
C F C
there aint a-lot to do, still he does what he can
G
and he watches the sea, from a room by the stairs
F C G
and the waves keep on rollin, they've done that for years.....
Chorus
C
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
C F C
and your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
G
and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
F C G
and I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong.....
D
Well its a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
D G D
and he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
A
and the mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
G D A
aww but, he still dreams his dreams, full of silver and gold....
(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 G D
there just stars in his eyes, there just dreams in his head
A
and he's hungry inside, for the wide world outside
G D A
and I know i can't hold him, Oh I've tried and I tried and I tried
(Chorus) X 2((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MCGINTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
