Elliott Murphy – Sonny (Guitar)

D    Dsus4          D  
Sonny, it's been a long time

D           Dsus4                      D
But I just, I couldn't pick up on the phone

               Em         G                 D
I'm still some miles away  from that kinda courage

             Em          G              D
And I guess finally I preferred to be alone

D              G                     D  
Well it's true, I mighta made a few promises

D                                G            D
And you can be sure, I meant to keep em all along

               Em       G                        D
But something happened,  don't know if I can explain it

                 Em         G               D
Just call me the man whose heart turned to stone

C                    D             C              D
A thousand people laughing and I could not say a word

F#m                           Em     G                    A
But in the heat of that last summer, I was flying like a bird

D     G                        D  
Sonny, you say you don't recognize me

D                        G                      D
In fact when I knew you,  well I was bearing a beard

               Em     G                   D
But one day I shaved   and looked in the mirror

                Em   G                   D
Decided to come out,  come right out of there

D                     G                 D  
Well me and your mom,  well that was a long night

D                   G              D
Can't say I'm proud, but I ain't ashamed

               Em      G                 D
Don't you believed it,  well I ain't no cave man

              Em     G                         D
We were both willing,  but she lived with the blame

C                    D             C              D
A thousand people laughing and I could not say a word

F#m                           Em     G                    A
But in the heat of that last summer, I was flying like a bird

             D     G                        D  
So when she called,  you coulda knocked me over

D                                  G                  D
I thought it was a joke, than my laughter started to fade

            Em        G                   D
So I drove down here,  down to this damn prison

                   Em               G                 D
The last thing I expected I see my boy sitting in a cage

D                 G                          D  
So what can I say,  give me a call when you want to

D                                     G             D
You can call me at work, and you can call my place home

                Em            G                     D
I'll find a way out of this, not sure how I'm gonna do it

              Em     G                        D
But you got a father, you're not completely alone

C                    D             C              D
A thousand people laughing and I could not say a word

F#m                           Em     G                    A
