Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

(Shel Silverstein)
Dr. Hook: Belly Up!

little riff after intro, capo on 6 fret:
slide b from 7 to 9 while at the same time sliding e from 9 to 11 then after that pick g 
at 9 and b at 12 (it's as close as I could get it). After this follow the chords 
normally with single strokes and some picking.


Intro


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


First Verse


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


Chorus


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


(do the intro riff again)


Third Verse


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


Chorus


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


(repeat intro riff again)


Fourth Verse


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


Outro


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





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


(do the intro riff last time)
