I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes
                        F                                                    C  
And the noodles and the marrowbone
                     F                                                                            C  
But it really wasn't nothin? but some water and potatoes
                        G                                                    C                          F  C  F  
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone.

  C                                                                      F              C  
Hanging from a string in my mama's kitchen,
C                              G                      D  
Back in the hard time days
C                                                                                         F                      C  
Was a little ol' stone 'bout the size of an apple,
                  D                                                 G  
It was smooth and worn and grey
             C                                                              F              C  
There wasn't much food in my mama's kitchen,
                                  G                         C  
So whenever things got tight
                  F                                                 C  
Mama?d boil up some water, put in the stone and say
  D                                                    G  
"Let's have some soup tonight"
- - -
                     F                                                              C  
And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes
                        F                                                    C  
And the noodles and the marrowbone
                  F                                                                                 C  
But it really wasn't nothin? but some water and potatoes
                        G                                                    C                        F  C  F  
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone.

        C                                                                         F                            C  
It had been in the family for a whole lotta years,
                  C                                    G                    C  
So we knew it was a nurturing thing
                                                                             F                                         C  
And I remember mama, as she stirred it in the water,
          D                                                         G  
And we could all hear her say
                        C                                                    F                         C  
"It?s a magical stone and as long as we got it,
                                                     G              C  
We'll never have a hungry night
                F                                                              C  
Just add a little love to the wonderful soupstone
             D                                                    G  
And everything will be alright"
- - -
                     F                                                              C  
And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes
                        F                                                    C  
And the noodles and the marrowbone
                  F                                                                                 C  
But it really wasn't nothin? but some water and potatoes
                        G                                                    C                        F  C  F  
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone.
- - -
                C                                                                         F                 C  
So it carried us all through the darkening days
                                                  G                    C  
?til finally the sunshine came
                                                                                                F              C  
And the soupstone started in to gathering dust
                     D                                                 G  
But if hung there just the same
             C                                                    F                                 C  
And ever since then, the food?s been plenty
                                                  G                 C  
But every now and then I find
                  F                                                                              C  
That mama, in the kitchen with the wonderful soupstone
     D                                      G  
Drifts across my mind
- - -
                                  F                                    C  
And again, I can taste the chicken and tomatoes
                        F                                                    C  
And the noodles and the marrowbone
                  F                                                                                 C  
But it really wasn't nothin? but some water and potatoes
                        G                                                    C                        F  C  F  
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone.
