      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.
