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.

C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
You miiiight have seen one out in Minnesota
C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
Or maybeeee down by the sea in Sarasota
FDm
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
FDmC-Am
Of aluminum and Bakelite and glass mmm-hmm
C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
Liiiike a locomotive they were streamlines
C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
And the blue-ooooh prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
FDm
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
FDmC-Am
Out to Michigan up to Maine Ah-oooh
Em ...
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
FGC-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love
DmC-Am
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
FGC-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love
C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
The crui-ooh-ooh-ser pulls in where the troopers always stop
C-AmC-AmC-AmC-Am
As we diiine over the chrome and formica table top
FDm
The cashier she always squints
FDm
By the gum and the bowl of mints
C-Am
She's tapping her toe
FDm
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
FDm
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
Em
La da di da .... (go nuts scatting here)
F
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
FGC
Diner my shiny shiny love
DmC
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
FGC
Diner my shiny shiny love
FDm
Dean Martin god rest his soul
FDm
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
FDm
There's a couple from the show me state
FDm
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
FGC-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love.
FGC-Am
Diner my shiny shiny love.
FGC-Am
Diner my shiny shiny shiny love.
