Sonja
Lyle Lovett
D D
I’ve never been lucky
G D
At picking up women
G D
But this life that I live
Em A
Is not one that I choose
G D
She was a waitress
G D
With hair blond and curly
G D
With a pretty black dress
A D
And those japanese shoes
CHORUS:
A
A
Man I need to impress her
G D
’cause I’d like to undress her
G D
I need a song about sonja
A D
When I’m singing tonight
D
D
She looked so pretty
G D
As she poured my coffee
G D
But she had her eye
Em A
On my friend at the bar
G D
And I watched her watch him
G D
And I watched her thinking
G A D
I wish her eye was on me

Chorus
A
A
And if I could sing her
G D
A tender love ballad
G D
I’d hope that the audience
Em A
might sing along
G D
But I can’t find the right way
G D
To tell her my feelings
G D A
And still make the words rhyme with sonja
D D
No I’ve never been lucky
G D
At picking up women
G D
But this life that I live
Em A
Is not one that I choose
G D
She was a waitress
G D
Now she’s gone forever
G D
And I’m stuck with this song
A D
That I never will use
A A
Man you need to impress her
G D
If you want to undress her
G D
Sing a song about sonja
A D
When you’re singing tonight
G D
Sing a song about sonja
A D
When you’re singing tonight
