Sweet Revenge by John Prine
Sweet Revenge
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G
I got kicked off of Noah's Ark
C G
I turned my cheek to unkind remarks
D7
There was two of everything and one of me
G
And when the rains came tumblin down
C G
I held my breath and I stood my ground
D7 C G
And I watch that ship go sailing out to sea
[Chorus]
C
Take it back, take it back
G
Oh no you can't say that
D7
All of my friends are not dead or in jail
G
Through rock and through stone
C G
The black wind still moans
D7 C G
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail
[Verse 2]
G
I caught an aisle seat on a plane
C G
Drove an English teacher half insane
D7
Makin' 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
D7 C G
But the radio has learned all of my favorite tunes
[Chorus]
C
Take it back, take it back
G
Oh no you can't say that
D7
All of my friends are not dead or in jail
G
Through rock and through stone
C G
The black wind still moans
D7 C G
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail
[Verse 3]
G
The white meat is on the run
C G
And the dark meat is far too done
D7
And the milkman left me a note yesterday
G
Get out of this town by noon
C G
You're comin' home way to soon
D7 C G
And besides that we never liked you anyway
[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
D7 C G
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail
D7 C G
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge will prevail without fail
