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. -- Scott A. Anderson Southern College of Technology sanderso@st6000.sct.edu
