Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well I never been lucky

at pickin' up women.

This life that I live

is not one that I choose.

She was a waitress,

with hair blonde and curly,

with a pretty black dress,

and those japanese shoes.

(Chorus):

Man I need to impress her,

'cause I'd like to undress her.

I need a song about Sonya

when I'm singin' tonight.

Well she looked so pretty

as she poured my coffee,

but she had her eye

on my friend at the bar.

And I watched her watch him,

and I watched her thinkin'.

I wished her eye

was on me.

(Chorus)

And if I could sing her

a tender love ballad,

I'd hope the audience

might sing along.

But I can't find the right way

to tell her my feelings,

and still make the words

rhyme with Sonya.

I never been lucky

at pickin up women

This life that I live

is not one that I choose.

She was a waitress.

Now she's gone forever,

and I'm stuck with this song

that I never will use.

Man you need to impress her

if you want to undress her.

Sing a song about Sonya

when you're singin' tonight

Sing a song about Sonya

when you're singin' tonight.
