A Song About Sonya 
 
 
 
 
 
 C  
Well I never been lucky 
   F          C 
at pickin' up women. 
     F           C 
This life that I live 
       D7         G 
is not one that I choose. 
 
F         C 
She was a waitress, 
     F               C 
with hair blonde and curly, 
       F            C 
with a pretty black dress, 
          G        C 
and those japanese shoes. 

        G  
  Man I need to impress her, 
             F         C  
  'cause I'd like to undress her. 
           F          C 
  I need a song about Sonya 
           G         C 
  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'. 
F            G 
I wished her eye  
       C 
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.
