Strum
D-DU-UDU
Ive never been lucky
&8232;
At picking up women
&8232;
But this life that I live
&8232;
Is not one that I choose
&8232;
She was a waitress
&8232;
With hair blond and curly
&8232;
With a pretty black dress
&8232;
And those japanese shoes&8232;
&8232; [A]
Man I need to impress her
&8232;
cause Id like to undress her
&8232;
I need a song about sonja
&8232;
When Im singing tonight
&8232; [D]
She looked so pretty
&8232;
As she poured my coffee
&8232;
But she had her eye
&8232;
On my friend at the bar
&8232;
And I watched her watch him
&8232;
And I watched her thinking
&8232;
I wish her eye was on me&8232;

Chorus&8232;
&8232; [A]
And if I could sing her
&8232;
A tender love ballad
&8232;
Id hope that the audience
might sing along
&8232;
But I cant find the right way
&8232;
To tell her my feelings
&8232;
And still make the words rhyme with sonja&8232;
No Ive never been lucky
&8232;
At picking up women
&8232;
But this life that I live
&8232;
Is not one that I choose
&8232;
She was a waitress
&8232;
Now shes gone forever
&8232;
And Im stuck with this song
&8232;
That I never will use&8232;
&8232;
Man you need to impress her
&8232;
If you want to undress her
&8232;
Sing a song about sonja
&8232;
When youre singing tonight
&8232;
Sing a song about sonja
&8232;
When youre singing tonight
