ag.algebraic geometry - Two-dimensional quotient singularities are rational: why?

I've read that quotient singularities (that is, spectra of invariant subrings of finite groups acting linearly on polynomial rings) have rational singularities. Is there an elementary proof of this fact in dimension two? I have one proof, but it uses big guns like Grothendieck spectral sequences etc.
