Lyle Lovett – Sonja (Ukulele)

       C                  C
I’ve never been lucky

     F               C

At picking up women

            F             C

But this life that I live

         Dm            G

Is not one that I choose

F                C

She was a waitress

          F                   C

With hair blond and curly

             F                 C

With a pretty black dress

                G              C

And those japanese shoes


          G
                 G
Man I need to impress her

                F              C

’cause I’d like to undress her

              F                     C

I need a song about sonja

                  G           C

When I’m singing tonight

                       C
She looked so pretty

       F                        C

As she poured my coffee

       F                   C

But she had her eye

             Dm                 G

On my friend at the bar

        F                      C

And I watched her watch him

        F                      C

And I watched her thinking

F               G                    C

I wish her eye was on me



        G
              G
And if I could sing her

    F                  C

A tender love ballad

     F                        C

I’d hope that the audience

Dm              G
might sing along

         F                      C

But I can’t find the right way

     F                  C

To tell her my feelings

        F                      C                               G

And still make the words rhyme with sonja


             C                  C
No I’ve never been lucky

     F                 C

At picking up women

              F               C

But this life that I live

           Dm             G

Is not one that I choose

F                 C

She was a waitress

         F                 C

Now she’s gone forever

                F                       C

And I’m stuck with this song

            G               C

That I never will use


                G                 G      

Man you need to impress her

            F                   C

If you want to undress her

            F                   C

Sing a song about sonja

                       G            C

When you’re singing tonight

            F                  C

Sing a song about sonja

                       G            C

When you’re singing tonight
