A Song About Sonya

Lyle Lovett

This was performed on "Austin City Limits".

Note: Capo 2nd fret.  This is organized into verse pairs, played just as

      the first two verses, the exception being the las part of the 4th

      verse, to be played as indicated.

       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.

  (Chorus):

        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.
