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