For Tony Dwyer. (1963-2018)

I cooked up these chords for my dad so he and I could play this down at the

local

bar & restaurant and play with friends of ours. I coudn't find a decent tab

that was already online, so

I decided to post mine. I hope you enjoy this classic Canadian Newfoundland

tune!

Capo 3

[Verse 1]

G
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space

C G
Where you can take off your sneakers and give up the race

D
You could lay down your head by a sweet river bed

C G D
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said

[Chorus]

G
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

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, I'm not all that strong

[Verse 2]

G
Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man

C G
There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can

D
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs

C G D
And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that for years

[Chorus]

G
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

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, I'm not all that strong
