Lyle Lovett
I’ve neCver been lucky C
F C
At picking up women

But this life that I live

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

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 neverC 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
