Diner Tabs & Lyrics by Martin Sexton
Diner
guitar tabs lyrics
Similar to some other tabs, but this sounds more correct to me. The C-Am is a quick five
on the C (down, up, down, up, down), four strums on the Am (down, up, down, up). Should
played briskly, like a Les Paul kind of thing.
Capo: 6th Fret
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
You miiiight have seen one out in Minnesota
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
Or maybeeee down by the sea in Sarasota
F Dm
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
F Dm C-Am
Of aluminum and Bakelite and glass mmm-hmm
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
Liiiike a locomotive they were streamlines
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
And the blue-ooooh prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
F Dm
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
F Dm C-Am
Out to Michigan up to Maine Ah-oooh
Em ...
You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
F
In the country out of Waynsboro
Em ...
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
F
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
G
At the little gem diner off the six niner
F G C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love
Dm C-Am
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
F G C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
The crui-ooh-ooh-ser pulls in where the troopers always stop
C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am
As we diiine over the chrome and formica table top
F Dm
The cashier she always squints
F Dm
By the gum and the bowl of mints
C-Am
She's tapping her toe
F Dm
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
F Dm
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
Em ...
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
F
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Em
La da di da .... (go nuts scatting here)
F
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
F G C
Diner my shiny shiny love
Dm C
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
F G C
Diner my shiny shiny love
F Dm
Dean Martin god rest his soul
F Dm
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
F Dm
There's a couple from the show me state
F Dm
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
F G C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love.
F G C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love.
F G C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny shiny love.
