Break lots of grunting and moaning (just follow same chord pattern) Outro (shouting, hysterical laughter) THE WONDERFUL SOUP STONE 3:40 -Shel Silverstein- 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

Chorus

^GAnd I ^Fswear you could taste the ^Cchicken and tomatoes ^CAnd the ^Fnoodles and the marrow^Cbone ^CBut it ^Freally wasn't nothing but some ^Cwater and potatoes And the ^Gwonderful, wonderful ^Csoupstone
