Suzanne Vega – Toms Diner (Guitar)

Em
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

A
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Em
I am sitting in the morning

A
At the diner on the corner

Em
I am waiting at the counter

A
For the man to pour the coffee

G6
And he fills it only halfway

C
And before I even argue

Am
He is looking out the window

F                  Em
At somebody coming in

Em
"It is always nice to see you"

A
Says the man behind the counter

Em
To the woman who has come in

A
She is shaking her umbrella

G6
And I look the other way

C
As they are kissing their hellos

Am
And I'm pretending not to see them

F                   Em
Instead, I pour the milk

Em
I open up the paper

A
There's a story of an actor

Em
Who had died while he was drinking

A
It was no one I had heard of

G6
And I'm turning to the horoscope

C
And looking for the funnies

Am
When I'm feeling someone watching me

F                 Em
And so I raise my head

Em
There's a woman on the outside

A
Looking inside, does she see me?

Em
No, she does not really see me

A
Cause she sees her own reflection

G6
And I'm trying not to notice

C
That she's hitching up her skirt

Am
And while she's straightening her stockings

F                   Em
Her hair has gotten wet

Em
Oh, this rain it will continue

A
Through the morning as I'm listening

Em                  C    G6
To the bells of the cathedral

Em A C        F       Am
I am thinking of your voice

Em         C        F      A            Em
And of the midnight picnic once upon a time

C          F    C
Before the rain began...

Em
And I finish up my coffee

A
And it's time to catch the train
