Suzanne Vega – Toms Diner (Ukulele)

     F#m
I am sitting in the morning

       A
At the diner on the corner

       F#m
I am waiting at the counter

       A
For the man to pour the coffee

        D
And he fills it only halfway

        A
And before I even argue

        F#m
He is looking out the window

        C#7
At somebody coming in

        F#m
"It is always nice to see you"

          A
Says the man behind the counter

         F#m
To the woman who has come in

         A
She is shaking her umbrella

       D
And I look the other way

         A
As they are kissing their hellos

        F#m
And I'm pretending not to see them

     C#7
Instead, I pour the milk

   F#m
I open up the paper

           A
There's a story of an actor

         F#m
Who had died while he was drinking

       A
It was no one I had heard of

         D
And I'm turning to the horoscope

      A
And looking for the funnies

         F#m
When I'm feeling someone watching me

       C#7
And so I raise my head

          F#m
There's a woman on the outside

        A
Looking inside, does she see me?

        F#m
No, she does not really see me

         A
Cause she sees her own reflection

        D
And I'm trying not to notice

           A
That she's hitching up her skirt

                F#m
And while she's straightening her stockings

         C#7
Her hair has gotten wet

         F#m
Oh, this rain it will continue

           A
Through the morning as I'm listening

        F#m
To the bells of the cathedral

       A
I am thinking of your voice

           D
And of the midnight picnic once upon a time

 A
Before the rain began...

       F#m
And I finish up my coffee

          C#7
And it's time to catch the train
