Toms Diner Ukulele chords by Suzanne Vega

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

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
