Sun Son Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[C] [Em] [Am] [E] [Am] [E] [Am] [Bb] [D] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]

Oh father, come to the window
Look over[F] yonder [G]lake [C]
At the [F]wondrous [G]golden city
Beyond the icy [C]wake

In my short life we’ve passed this way
[F]Ten times or [G]more [C]
And [F]never [G]did this city
Rise up on that far [C]shore

[CHORUS]
That’s the[Dm] Sun [Am]son, [Dm7]shining on the [F]water
It’s [G]not Cairo, New York or Rome
And just a[Dm] matter of [Am]hours be[F]fore you see your mama
[G]Waiting for you back at home [C]

[VERSE 2]

Big buildings at it’s centre
Stand a[F]blaze with [G]light [C]
While [F]lesser [G]spires around these
Entrap the beams in [C]flight

Oh look now, I see people
With faces [F]small and [G]fine [C]
And [F]in their [G]midst just staring
A boy’s face like [C]mine

[CHORUS]
That’s the[Dm] Sun [Am]son, [Dm7]shining on the [F]water
It’s [G]not Cairo, New York or Rome
And just a[Dm] matter of [Am]hours be[F]fore you see your mama
[G]Waiting for you back at home

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Dm] [Am] [F] [G] [Dm] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 3]

The Sun was shrinking ’cause night was falling
And the boy went [F]off to [G]sleep [C]
His [F]wondrous [G]city vanished
Into the icy [C]deep

The Moon was rising ’cause night had fallen
And all was [F]as be[G]fore
As we [C]made our [F]way past the [G]countless pines
On the cold lake’s northern [C]shore

[CHORUS]
That’s the[Dm] Sun [Am]son, [Dm7]shining on the [F]water
It’s [G]not Cairo, New York or Rome
And just a[Dm] matter of [Am]hours be[F]fore you see your mama
[G]Waiting for you back at home

[CHORUS]
That’s the[Dm] Sun [Am]son, [Dm7]shining on the [F]water
It’s [G]not Cairo, New York or Rome
And just a[Dm] matter of [Am]hours be[F]fore you see your mama
[G]Waiting for you back at [C]home
