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.
