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 D 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
