Sonja
Lyle Lovett
I’ve Cnever been lucky C
F C

At picking up women
F C

But this life that I live
Dm G

Is not one that I choose
F C

She was a waitress
F C

With hair blond and curly
F C

With a pretty black dress
G C

And those japanese shoes

CHORUS:
G
 G
Man I need to impress her
F C

’cause I’d like to undress her
F C

I need a song about sonja
G C

When I’m singing tonight
C
 C
She looked so pretty
F C

As she poured my coffee
F C

But she had her eye
Dm G

On my friend at the bar
F C

And I watched her watch him
F C

And I watched her thinking
F G C

I wish her eye was on me


Chorus

G
 G
And if I could sing her
F C

A tender love ballad
F C

I’d hope that the audience
Dmmight sing alongG
F C

But I can’t find the right way
F C

To tell her my feelings
F C G

And still make the words rhyme with sonja

No I’ve nevCer been lucky C
F C

At picking up women
F C

But this life that I live
Dm G

Is not one that I choose
F C

She was a waitress
F C

Now she’s gone forever
F C

And I’m stuck with this song
G C

That I never will use

G G 

Man you need to impress her
F C

If you want to undress her
F C

Sing a song about sonja
G C

When you’re singing tonight
F C

Sing a song about sonja
G C

When you’re singing tonight
