When The Dinner Bell Rings
John Hartford-Walls We Bounce Off Of
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of G

Lyrics From: Jim Dixon  Mudcat Cafe

John Hartford played the fiddle almost constantly in the key of G
going to D7 then back to G in last line of each verse.  I wish I knew 

the story or background that prompted this unusual song.



WHEN THE DINNER BELL RINGS
As sung by John Hartford on "Walls We Bounce Off Of" (1994)


   G
When I look at this fiddle

The color of your skin
       D7                               
As smooth as the desert inside your eyes
                                      G        G
Round as the world you profess not to be a part of

   G
When I deal this card,

One of many that are capable of playing poker

Like the game we play with each other when we are alone
                                  D7           G
As a single mouse muffin on a new high-school diploma

So pulling back this lever
I start the engine like some diesel belt
Which like my love of you shall not perish forever

And the best-loved songs of the American people, like the crowd
That dances in ever-widening circles
Around these fiddlers here who practice their sawmill movements
Changing only when the dinner bell rings
