       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:
          AA
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
 
DD
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

        AA
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
