Chords for Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (1986)

_ _ _ _ _ This song is called Tom's Diner and it's [G] about
_ It's about Tom's restaurant _ in New York City
[Gm] On 112th Street [Eb] and Broadway if you're ever [G] there _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
[F] I am waiting at the counter [Gb] for the man to pour the coffee and he fills it only halfway [N] and
Before I even argue he is looking out the window at somebody coming [G] in _
_ _ [Eb] It is always nice to see you says the man behind the counter [G] to the woman who has come [Gb] in
She is shaking her umbrella [E] and I look the other [Eb] way as they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them and instead [G] I pour the milk.
_ [Eb] I
Open up the paper.
There's a [G] story of an actor who [Abm] had died while he was [D] drinking
It was no one I had heard of [Bb] and I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking [Eb] for the funnies when I'm feeling someone watching me and so I raise my head
There's a woman on the outside [F] looking inside.
Does she see me?
No
She does not [D] really see me because she sees her own reflection [N] and I'm trying not to notice that she's
Stitching up her skirt and while she's [D] straightening her stockings her hair has gotten wet. _
_ _ Oh
This rain it will continue through the [Eb] morning as I'm listening to the bells of the Cathedral
[G] _ _ _ [C] I
am thinking of [G] your voice and
_ _ of [C] the
Midnight picnic once upon [Db] a time before [C] the rain began
[G] _ _
_ Finish up my coffee and it's time to catch the train
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ Thank you _
