The Wonderful Soup Stone - Dr Hook Chords

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ I swear you could taste [C] the chicken and tomatoes and [F] the noodles and the marrow [C] bone
_ But [Dm] it really [C] wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes and the [Dm] wonderful, wonderful [C] soup [F] stone
[C] _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [C] Hanging from a string [F] in my [C] mama's kitchen _ back [G] in the hard [C] time days
_ Was a little old stone [F] about the size [C] of an apple
[D] It was smooth and worn [G] and gray
_ [C] There wasn't much food [F] in my [C] mama's kitchen
So whenever [G] things [C] got tight
_ [F] Mama'd boil up some water
[C] _ Put in the stone and [D] say, let's have some soup [G] tonight
_ [Dm] And I [F] swear you could taste [C] the chicken and tomatoes [F] and the noodles and the marrow [C] bone
But [F] it really wasn't nothing [C] but some water and potatoes [G] and the wonderful, [Dm] [G] wonderful [C] soup stone
It had been in the family [F] for a whole [C] lot of years
So we knew it [G] was a nourishing [C] thing
_ _ And I remember mama [F] as she stirred it [C] in the water
[D] And we could all hear her [G] sing
It's [C] a magical stone and [F] as long as [C] we got it
We'll never [G] have a hungry [C] night
_ [F] Just add a little love [C] to the wonderful soup stone
[D] And everything will be [G] alright
_ _ [Dm] And I [F] swear you could taste [C] the chicken and tomatoes [F] and the noodles and the marrow [C] bone
But [F] it really wasn't nothing [C] but some water and potatoes [G] and the wonderful, wonderful [C] soup stone
So _ _ it carried us all through the darkening days
Till finally [G] the sunshine [C] came _
And the soup stone started [F] in together [C] in dust
[D] But it hung there [G] just the same _
[C] And ever since then the food's been plenty
But every now and then I find _
[F] That mama in the kitchen [C] with the wonderful soup [D] stone
Drifts across [G] my mind
[F] And again I can taste [C] the chicken and tomatoes [F] and the noodles and the marrow [C] bone _
[F] But it really wasn't nothing [C] but some water and potatoes [G] and the wonderful, wonderful [C] soup stone
[F] And again I can taste [C] the chicken and tomatoes [F] and the noodles and the marrow [C] bone
_ [F]
But it really wasn't nothing [C] but some water and potatoes and the [G] wonderful, wonderful [C] soup stone
