Martin Sexton – Diner tab

Similar to some other tabs, but this sounds more correct to me. The C-Am is a quick five 
on the C (down, up, down, up, down), four strums on the Am (down, up, down, up). Should 
played briskly, like a Les Paul kind of thing.

Capo: 6th Fret

You may find a diner down in Georgia or

Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
                      F
In the country out of Waynsboro
Em ...
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State

You hang a louie off the thru-way
                               F
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
                  G
At the little gem diner off the six niner
F        G           C-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love
Dm                                   C-Am

The cashier she always squints

By the gum and the bowl of mints

She's tapping her toe
F                   Dm
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
F                   Dm
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so

Em ...
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
                                   F
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie

La da di da .... (go nuts scatting here)
