Chords with lyrics
Lyle Lovett
D MajorD D MajorD
I’ve never been lucky
G+G D
At picking up women
G+G D
But this life that I live
E minorEm A
Is not one that I choose
G+G D
She was a waitress
G+G D
With hair blond and curly
G+G D
With a pretty black dress
A augmentedA D
And those japanese shoes
CHORUS:
A
A augmentedA
Man I need to impress her
G+G D
’cause I’d like to undress her
G+G D
I need a song about sonja
A augmentedA D
When I’m singing tonight
D
D MajorD
She looked so pretty
G+G D
As she poured my coffee
G+G D
But she had her eye
E minorEm A
On my friend at the bar
G+G D
And I watched her watch him
G+G D
And I watched her thinking
G+G A augmentedA D
I wish her eye was on me
Chorus
A
A augmentedA
And if I could sing her
G+G D
A augmentedA tender love ballad
G+G D
I’d hope that the audience
E minorEm A augmentedA
might sing along
G+G D
But I can’t find the right way
G+G D
To tell her my feelings
G+G D MajorD A
And still make the words rhyme with sonja
D MajorD D MajorD
No I’ve never been lucky
G+G D
At picking up women
G+G D
But this life that I live
E minorEm A
Is not one that I choose
G+G D
She was a waitress
G+G D
Now she’s gone forever
G+G D
And I’m stuck with this song
A augmentedA D
That I never will use
A augmentedA A augmentedA
Man you need to impress her
G+G D
If you want to undress her
G+G D
Sing a song about sonja
A augmentedA D
When you’re singing tonight
G+G D
Sing a song about sonja
A augmentedA D
When you’re singing tonight
