Sonja - Lyle Lovett

Sonja chords

       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
