The Wonderful Soup Stone chords

[INTRO]

I [F]swear you could taste the [C]chicken and tomatoes
And the [F]noodles and the marrow[C]bone
But it [F]really wasn't nothing but some [C]water and potatoes
And the [G]wonderful, wonderful [C]soupstone

First Verse

[C]Hanging from a string in my [F]mama's [C]kitchen, back in the [G]hard time [C]days
[C]Was a little ol' stone 'bout the [F]size of an [C]apple, it was [D]smooth and worn
[D]and [G]grey
[G]There [C]wasn't much food in my [F]mama's [C]kitchen, so whenever [G]things got [C]tight
[C]Mama [F]boiled up some water[C] , put in the stone and said[D] "Let's have some soup
tonight[G]"

[CHORUS]

[G]And I [F]swear you could taste the [C]chicken and tomatoes
[C]And the [F]noodles and the marrow[C]bone
[C]But it [F]really wasn't nothing but some [F]water and potatoes
And the [G]wonderful, wonderful [C]soupstone

(do the intro riff again)

Third Verse

[C]It had been in the family for a [F]whole lotta [C]years, so we knew it was a
[G]nourishing thing[C]
[C]And I remember mama, as she [F]stirred it in the [C]water, and [D]we could all hear
[D]her [G]sing
[G]"I[C]ts a magical stone an[F]d as long a[C]s we got it, we'll never ha[G]ve a hungry
[C]night
[C]Just [F]add a little love to the [C]wonderful soupstone and [D]everything will be
[D]al[G]right"

[CHORUS]

[F]And I swear you could taste the [C]chicken and tomatoes
[F]And the noodles and the marrow[C]bone
[C]But it [F]really wasn't nothing but some [C]water and potatoes
[C]And the [G]wonderful, [D]wonderful [C]soupstone

(repeat intro riff again)

Fourth Verse

[C]So it carried us all through the [F]darkening [C]days, 'til finally the [G]sunshine
[C]came
[C]And the soup stone started into [F]gathering [C]dust, but it [D]hung there just the
[G]same
[G]And [C]ever since then the [F]food's been [C]plenty, but every now and [G]then I [C]find
[C]That [F]mama in the kitchen with the [C]wonderful soupstone, [D]drifts across my [G]mind

[OUTRO]

[G]And a[F]gain I can taste the [C]chicken and tomatoes
[C]And the [F]noodles and the marrow[C]bone
[C]But it [F]really wasn't nothing but some [C]water and potatoes
[C]And the [G]wonderful, wonderful [C]soupstone

[C]And [F]again I can taste the [C]chicken and tomatoes
[C]And the [F]noodles and the marrow[C]bone
[C]But it [F]really wasn't nothing but some [C]water and potatoes
[C]And the [G]wonderful, [D]wonderful [C]soupstone

(do the intro riff last time)
