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
