    C            F          C                 F
Whenever I'm out wanderin', chasin' a rainbow dream

  C     am       F             D7               G
I often stop and think about a place I've never seen

      am                 em         am                em
Where friendly folks can gather and raise the rafters high
 
     C         am       em    am     F        G        C
With songs and tales of yesteryear until they say "goodbye."
 
 
Well....there's a 

F            C            F              C
Puppy in the parlor and a skillet on the stove 
 
      F          C              F   G  C
And a smelly old blanket that a Navajo wove.
 
        F              C              F         C
There's chicken on the table, but you gotta say grace.

     C                    F            C                    F
Now, folks come by 'round evenin' time soon as the sun goes down.

C         am      F                    D7               G
