Standard (EADGBE)

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

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

 SONNY ALWAYS REMEMBERS, WORDS MAMMA SAID.

 SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

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

 BUT HE DOES WHAT HE CAN. SITS BY HIS WINDOW, IN HIS ROOM BY THE STAIRS,

WATCHING THE WAVES, DRIFTING SOFT AND A-PEAR.

 SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

 I’M FEELING SO TIRED. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.

Solo

 MANY YEARS HAVE ROLLED ON, SONNY’S OLD AND ALONE, HIS DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER CAME HOME. SOMETIMES HE WONDERS, WHAT HIS LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN,

STILL FROM OLD GRAVES, MUMMY’S VOICE HUMMS HIS DREAM.

 SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

 I’M FEELING SO TIRED. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.

/

 SONNY DON’T GO A-WAY.

Have fun, DAIRYBEAT on:
