[D]Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone,
Your daddy's a sailer [G] never came [D] home, [A]Nights are so long, silence goes on, [G]I'm feeling so[D ] tired, not all that [A]strong Sonny lives on a farm,in a wide open space, Take off your shoes,stay out of the race, Lay down your head by the soft river bed, Sonny always remembers the words mammy said. Sonny works on the land,though he's barley a man There's not much to do,he does what he can, He sits by the window,of his room by the stairs, He watches the waves gently wash on the pier. Many years have gone by,Sonny's old and alone, His daddy the sailor never came home Sometimes he wanders what his life might have been But from the grave mammy still haunts his dreams. [Repeat first verse] Here's the chords for the key that Christy sings the song in.

Man Of A Thousand Songs
Guitar chords by Bon Sharpe Intro G7 C G7 C G7 He got a [C] crim-son red tat-too keeps it hid-den just a -[F]- bove his t-shirt sleeve It's a brok-en heart and the in -[C]- scrip-tion reads 'No love songs if you [G] please', [C] But he don't real-ly mean that, Yes it's on-ly cheek-y [F] tongue, He stands up and sings one [C] ev'-ry night, He's the [G7] man of a thou-sand [C] songs. [G] He knows the [C] street like he knows his last name And the [F] cit-y from the wrong side out, He knows that time is cruel and an-y [C] man's a fool Who hides the truth be-hind his [G] mouth; He knows The [C] Duke of Earl, he knows My Girl, And The House of the Ris - ing [F] Sun, The o-pen-in line on his [C] mar-quee sign reads 'The [G] man of a thou-sand [C] songs'. He knows an [G] old ho-tel where the desk clerk Will sell you your [F] soul back reas-'nab-ly [C] cheap. Or this [G] guy you can call when you're crawl-in' the wall And the [Am7] whole / [D] town's / [Dm7] a-sleep. [G7] He don't [C] prom-ise what he don't de-liv-er He keeps [F] it all in the eas-y keys. He don't dream be-yond his ex-pec -[C]- tat-ions But he got the stance down to a [G] 'T'; He got a [C] friend in the back - stage alley Got just the thing to make the night move a -[F]- long. He's tak-in' all re-quests as you [C] might have guessed, second time sung [G7/Ab [Am] |
