Diner Tab

by Martin Sexton


I couldn't find this song on here so I decided to post it myself!!  First tab I've made, 
some parts could be wrong, but it sounds pretty close!!

Capo: 1st Fret

-   -                   - 
   -
You might have seen one out in Minnesota
   -  -              -    
-
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
                          
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
                                
Of aluminum and bakalite and glass

-   -                  -  
  -
Like a locomotive they were streamlines
    -     -                        -       -
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
                   
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
               
Out to Michigan up to Maine


You may find a diner down in Georgia or

Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
                      
In the country out of Waynsboro

Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State

You hang a louie off the thru-way
                               
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
                  
At the little gem diner off the six niner
                   
Diner my shiny shiny love
                                   
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
                   
Diner my shiny shiny love

The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top

The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so

Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Better make it a-la-mode

Chorus

Dean Martin god rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate

Diner my shiny shiny love.
Diner my shiny shiny love.
Diner my shiny shiny shiny love.
