Key:
G I got kicked off of Noah's ArkC G I turned my cheek to unkind remarks There was two of everything and oneD7 of meG And when the rains came tumblin downC I held my breath and I stood myG groundD7 And I watch that ship go sailingC G out to sea [Chorus]C Take it back, take it backG Oh no you can't say that All of my friends are not dead or inD7 jailG Through rock and through stoneC G The black wind still moansD7 Sweet revenge, sweet revengeC G without fail [Verse 2]Continues after the adG I caught an aisle seat on a planeC G Drove an English teacher half insane Makin' up jokes about bicycle spokesD7 and red balloonsG So I called up my local deejayC G And he didn't have a lot to sayD7 But the radio has learned all of myC G favorite tunes [Chorus]C Take it back, take it backG Oh no you can't say that All of my friends are not dead or inD7 jailG Through rock and through stoneC G The black wind still moansD7 Sweet revenge, sweet revengeC G without fail [Verse 3]G The white meat is on the runC G And the dark meat is far too done And the milkman left me a noteD7 yesterdayG Get out of this town by noonC G You're comin' home way to soonD7 And besides that we never liked youC G anyway [Chorus]C Take it back, take it backG Oh no you can't say that All of my friends are not dead or inD jailG Through rock and through stoneC G The black wind still moansD7 Sweet revenge, sweet revengeC G without failD7 Sweet revenge, sweet revenge willC G prevail without fail
