   This is as I hear it.  It's pretty strait forward.  Those little dulcimer   
   melodies are great to put to guitar if you don't play the hammers.   
      
   Little Potato: by Metamora   
      
   Hammer Dulcimer Interlude: Am, G, C, G   
      
   Chorus:   
   NC        C             F   
   You're my little potato   
             C            G   
   You're my little potato   
             C   
   You're my little potato,   
        F       G                     C     C7Add4/F  C   
   they dug you up You come from underground   
      
   Verse:   
                Am            G                   C     G   
   The world is big,       So big;      It's very big.   
       Am            G                       C     G   
   To you,     It's new;             It's new to you.   
      
   Chorus   
   Interlude solo!   
   Bridge:   
                    F   
   Let's talk about root crops (they dug you up)   
       C   
   And lamb chops (they chew 'em)   
        A7       D7   
   And things to eat   
        G7   
   Like apples and cheese and 'nanas and cream, and jellies and butter.   
         B               E                B                E    A A7 D7 G7   
   It's late at night, I hope this little bottle helps you go to sleep...   
      
                  F         G   
   They must have grown you wild   
             F         G   
   To make a grown man-child;   
               F            G   
   I'll go and play in the mud   
              F       G   
   To be with you, my spud;   
                F        G   
   Potato, when you came out   
           F        G   
   Looking red as a beet,   
            Bb                             G7   
   You had wrinkles on the bottoms of your feet.   
      
   Whoa, oh oh now,   
      
   You are so sweet, potato   
   2nd Chorus:   
      
   You're my sweet potato   
      
   You're my sweet potato, dug you up   
      
   You come from underground   
      
   Verse 2   
   You smile,    A smile,     A little smile.   
   The world is small,   
   So small   
   It's very small   
      
   chorus   
   Interlude 2x   
      
   You're my little potato   
   You're my little potato   
   You're my little potato...   
      
   ...there are some extra changes at the end.  I'm not sure.  It's late and my   
   little potato just woke.  gotta go!  Enjoy!
