Chords for Sonny's Dream - Corey Hart

My fans in Newfoundland, I hope I have a few fans here.
_ [Bb] _ _
[C] I also have Labrador.
I also have Labrador.
I put Labrador on the t-shirt actually.
I made sure it was [Bb] Labrador.
And it's [F] with the main line of the artwork.
He knows he got it. _
[Bb] Oh my god.
_ [Bbm] You know I heard this song a [Bb] long time ago.
When you're young, [Bb] you don't realize sometimes what a song is trying to tell you.
And as I grew up and started a family of my own, I got four kids.
_ _ I stopped [C] making records and decided that [Bbm] the life of a rock and roll artist
[Bb] would not allow me the time to be with my family the way I wanted to.
So I stayed home and raised our kids with my wife.
_ _ _ _ For better or worse, we didn't always make the right decisions,
but we gave it our heart and our all.
And that's all you can ask for.
Just be there for your kids.
_ _ _ [C] So this song speaks to me.
And [Bbm] I hope I do it justice.
I sing it my own way.
And I may mess up the lyrics [Bb] because it's brand new for me.
_ _ [F] Ready boys?
I [Bb] started living on the phone.
On the line, I woke up to speech.
You could kick off the speaker.
You could give up the bed.
[F] You could lay down your head.
By a sweet river bed.
[Cm] The sun ain't [Dm] always bright.
[C] All you want is one more say. _ _ _
[Bb] So don't go away.
I am here all alone.
_ _ I'm in pain.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] I'm in sorrow.
_ Silence goes on.
And I'm beaten and so tired.
I'm hoping [Bbm] I'm as strong.
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] I sit down alone.
On the bed.
I think of all that I could do.
[Eb] But it doesn't last a day.
[F] And then he watches and sees.
All the new man is there.
And those waves, they keep rolling.
They keep [Bb] rolling for years [F] and years.
So _ don't go away.
I am here all alone.
Your daddy.
Daddy. _ _ _ _ _
[F] In his eyes.
So long.
Silence goes on.
[Eb] And I'm beaten and so tired.
I [Bb] can't go.
_ [F] _ _ This song. _ _
_ [Eb] _ You sound so beautiful out there.
[Bb] _ _
[F] You sound so beautiful. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] Sun is close.
And the storm is coming.
Stars in his eyes.
[Eb] And dreams in his head.
[F] And he hums and sings.
For a while.
_ [C] I know I can't hold up.
But I want to try.
_ [F] _ _
So [Bb] don't go away.
I am here all alone.
Your daddy.
Daddy. _ _ _ _
[C] And the road lights get so long.
And the silence goes on.
[Eb] And I'm beaten [F] and so tired.
Of [Bb] all that's strong.
[F] Everybody together one time.
[Eb] _ _ _
[C] I am here all [Bb] alone.
Really loud.
And your daddy's a sailor who never.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] So long.
[C] _ [F] Silence goes on.
[F] And I'm beaten and so tired.
Of [Bb] all that's strong.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] Go Casey.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
_ _ _ [Db] I caught a really bad cold on Tuesday.
So if I sound not so good.
You know that's life man.
You can't plan these things.
I'm not here to complain.
I'm just [Eb] saying if I don't sound so good.
Just [Gb] bear with me.
I'm giving it my best.
Alright.
