       D (xx0232@1)                DI've (xx0232@1)never been lucky
     G (320003@1)             D

At picking up women
            G (320003@1)           D

But this life that I live
         Em (022000@1)          A

Is not one that I choose
G (320003@1)              D

She was a waitress
          G (320003@1)                 D

With hair blond and curly
             G (320003@1)               D

With a pretty black dress
                A (x02220@1)            D

And those japanese shoes


CHORUS:
          A
                 AMan (x02220@1)I need to impress her
                G (320003@1)            D

'cause I'd like to undress her
              G (320003@1)                   D

I need a song about sonja
                  A (x02220@1)         D

When I'm singing tonight
 
D
                       DShe (xx0232@1)looked so pretty
       G (320003@1)                      D

As she poured my coffee
       G (320003@1)                 D

But she had her eye
             Em (022000@1)               A

On my friend at the bar
        G (320003@1)                    D

And I watched her watch him
        G (320003@1)                    D

And I watched her thinking
G (320003@1)             A (x02220@1)                  D

I wish her eye was on me



Chorus

        A
              AAnd (x02220@1)if I could sing her
    G (320003@1)                D

A tender love ballad
     G (320003@1)                      D

I'd hope that the audience
Em (022000@1)            Amight (x02220@1)sing along
         G (320003@1)                    D

But I can't find the right way
     G (320003@1)                D

To tell her my feelings
        G (320003@1)                    D (xx0232@1)                             A

And still make the words rhyme with sonja

             D (xx0232@1)                DNo (xx0232@1)I've never been lucky
     G (320003@1)               D

At picking up women
              G (320003@1)             D

But this life that I live
           Em (022000@1)           A

Is not one that I choose
G (320003@1)               D

She was a waitress
         G (320003@1)               D

Now she's gone forever
                G (320003@1)                     D

And I'm stuck with this song
            A (x02220@1)             D

That I never will use

                A (x02220@1)               A (x02220@1)    

Man you need to impress her
            G (320003@1)                 D

If you want to undress her
            G (320003@1)                 D

Sing a song about sonja
                       A (x02220@1)          D

When you're singing tonight
            G (320003@1)                D

Sing a song about sonja
                       A (x02220@1)          D

When you're singing tonight
