*from 'A Mighty Wind Original Soundtrack' (2003)*


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.

Chorus 1:

(n.c.)
 Well...
          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.

          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!')

Bridge 2:

(Instrumental/Banjo Solo)

Am  Em, Am  G  G7,
C  C/B  Am  Am/G,
F  G  C

Chorus 2:

(n.c.)
 Well...
          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.

        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,
G          C     F  G
 Old Joe's Place.

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
That flashes...
(n.c.)
 Ea A Oh's.

Chorus 3:

(n.c.)
 Well...
          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.

        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 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.)
 There's...
F                 C
 Always something cooking
   G             C
At Old...Joe's...Place.
