Intro: 

G  C  F  C  G 

Verse 1: 

     C              F 
When-ever I'm out a wandering,  
C                  F 
 Chasing a rainbow dream, 
  C     C/B      Am      Am/G 
I often stop and think a-bout, 
  D7               G 
A place I've never seen, 

Bridge 1: 

      Am                 Em 
Where friendly folks can gather, 
    Am                G    G7 
And raise the rafters high, 
     C         C/B      Am     Am/G 
With songs and tales of yester year,  
   F        G        C 
Un-til they say good-bye 

(n.c.) 
                 F            C 
Well.....there's a puppy in the parlor,  
      F              C 
And a skillet on the stove, 
      F          C 
And a smelly old blanket,  
       G      C 
That a Navajo wove, 
          F              C 
There's a chicken on the table,  
        F          C 
But you got to say grace, 
        F                C        
There's always something cooking at,  
G          C     F  G 
 Old Joe's Place


Verse 2: 

    C                   F 
Now folks come by round evening time, 
C                     F 
 Soon as the sun goes down, 
C          C/B     Am         Am/G 
 Some drop in from right next door,  
    D7               G 
And some from out of town...('Pick it!')

Well.....there's a puppy in the parlor,  
      F              C 
And a skillet on the stove, 
      F          C 
And a smelly old blanket,  
       G      C 
That a Navajo wove, 
        F              C 
There's popcorn in the popper, 
      F             C 
And a porker in the pot 
        F          C 
There's pie in the pantry, 
        G               C 
And the coffee's always hot, 
          F              C 
There's a chicken on the table,  
        F          C 
But you got to say grace, 
        F                C        
There's always something cooking at,

Verse 3: 

    C                   F 
Now they don't allow no frowns inside, 
C                  F 
 Leave them by the door. 
        C     C/B    Am     Am/G 
There's apple brandy by the keg, 
    D7             G 
And sawdust on the floor. 

Bridge 3: 

   Am              Em 
So if you've got a hankering', 
     Am                G  G7 
I'll tell you where to go, 
     C            C/B    Am   Am/G 
Just look for the busted neon sign 
     F         (n.c.) 
That flashes....Ea A Oh's 
Well... 

Chorus 3: 

          F            C 
There's a puppy in the parlor,  
      F              C 
And a skillet on the stove, 
      F          C 
And a smelly old blanket,  
       G      C 
That a Navajo wove,

And the coffee's always hot, 
        F              C 
There's sausage in the morning, 
      F           C 
And a party every night, 
          F        C 
There's a nurse on duty, 

       G          C 
If you don't feel right, 
          F              C 
There's a chicken on the table,  
        F          C 
But you got to say grace, 

(n.c.)    F                C
