Tuning: Standard
Capo 2

Intro: G walk up to C

VERSE 1
     C          C        F          C
I've never been lucky at picking up women
         F           C           Dm         C
But this life that I live is not one that I choose
F         C             F              C
She was a waitress with hair blond and curly
       F            C               G        C
With a pretty black dress and those Japanese shoes


CHORUS
      G         G                    F         C
Man I need to impress her 'cause I'd like to undress her
         F          C              G       C
I need a song about Sonja when I'm singing tonight


VERSE 2
C             C         F             C
She looked so pretty as she poured my coffee
    F           C         Dm            C
But she had her eye on my friend at the bar
    F             C             F             C
And I watched her watch him and I watched her thinking
F          G          C
I wish her eye was on me


CHORUS
      G         G                    F         C
Man I need to impress her 'cause I'd like to undress her
         F          F              G       C
I need a song about Sonja when I'm singing tonight
    G          G          F           C
And if I could sing her a tender love ballad
    F             C        Dm         G
I'd hope that the audience might sing along
      F              C              F           C
But I can't find the right words to tell her my feelings
    F              C                G
And still make the words rhyme with Sonja


VERSE 3
        C          C        F          C
No I've never been lucky at picking up women
         F           C           Dm         C
But this life that I live is not one that I choose
F         C            F             C
She was a waitress now she's gone forever
        F               C           G          C
And I'm stuck with this song that I never will use


CHORUS
        G         G                F         C
Man you need to impress her if you want to undress her
       F          C                 G       C
Sing a song about Sonja when you're singing tonight
       F          C                 G       C
Sing a song about Sonja when you're singing tonight
