Capo: 2 Tuning: G C E A
A Song About Sonya Lyle Lovett This was performed on "Austin City Limits". Note: Capo 2nd fret. This is organized into verse pairs, played just as the first two verses, the exception being the las part of the 4th verse, to be played as indicated.
Well I Cnever been lucky at Fpickin' up Cwomen. This Flife that I Clive is not D7one that I Gchoose.
FShe was a Cwaitress, with Fhair blonde and Ccurly, with a Fpretty black Cdress, and those Gjapanese Cshoes.
(Chorus):
Man I Gneed to impress her, 'cause I'd Flike to unCdress her. I need a Fsong about CSonya when I'm Gsingin' toCnight.
Well she looked so pretty as she poured my coffee, but she had her eye on my friend at the bar. And I watched her watch him, and I watched her thinkin'.
FI wished her Geye was on Cme.
(Chorus) And if I could sing her a tender love ballad, I'd hope the audience might sing along. But I can't find the right way to tell her my feelings, and still make the words rhyme with Sonya. I never been lucky at pickin up women This life that I live is not one that I choose. She was a waitress. Now she's gone forever, and I'm stuck with this song that I never will use. Man you need to impress her if you want to undress her. Sing a song about Sonya when you're singin' tonight Sing a song about Sonya when you're singin' tonight.
