Capo 2nd fret 
 
 
 C5  
Well I never been lucky 
   F5          C5 
at pickin' up women. 
     F5           C5 
This life that I live 
       D5         G5 
is not one that I choose. 
 

F5         C5 
She was a waitress, 
     F5               C5 
with hair blonde and curly, 
       F5            C5 
with a pretty black dress, 
          G5        C5 
and those japanese shoes. 


        G5  
  Man I need to impress her, 
             F5         C5  
  'cause I'd like to undress her. 
           F5          C5 
  I need a song about Sonya 
           G5         C5 
  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'. 
F5            G5 
I wished her eye  
       C5 
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.
