G
I got kicked off Noah's Ark
C G
I turn my cheek to unkind remarks
D
there was two of everything but one of me
G
and when the rains came tumbling down
C G
I held my breath and I stood my ground
D C G
and I watched that ship go sailing out to sea.
Chorus:
C
Take it back, take it back
G
oh no you can't say that
D
all of my friends are not dead or in jail
G
through rock and through stone
C G
the black wind still moans
D C G
sweet revenge sweet revenge without fail.
G
I caught an aisle seat on a plane
C G
and drove an English teacher half insane
D
making up jokes about bicycle spokes and red balloons
G
so I called up my local deejay
C G
and he didn't have a lot to say
D C G
but the radio has learned all of my favorite tunes.
(Repeat Chorus)
G
The white meat is on the run
C G
and the dark meat is far too done
D
and the milkman left me a note yesterday
G
get out of this town by noon
C G
you're coming on way too soon
D C G
and besides that we never liked you any way.
(Repeat Chorus)
G D C G
Sweet revenge sweet revenge will prevail.
