Sweet Revenge
John Prine

Intro:

I got k[G]icked off Noah's Ark
I turn my ch[C]eek to unkind re[G]marks
There was two of everything but one of [D7]me
And when the ra[G]ins came tumbling down
I held my b[C]reath and I stood my gr[G]ound
And I watched that ship go sa[D7]iling out to se[C]ee-e[G]a

Chorus:
Take it b[C]ack. Take it back.
Oh [G]no, you can't say that
All of my friends are not dead or in j[D7]ail
[G]Through rock and through stone
The bl[C]ack wind still mo[G]ans
Sweet Revenge, Sweet Re[D7]venge without [C]fai[G]l

[G]I caught an aisle seat on a plane
And drove an En[C]glish teacher half in[G]sane
Making up jokes about bicycle spokes and red ball[D7]oons
So I ca[G]lled up my local deejay
And he di[C]dn't have alot to s[G]ay
But the radio has learned a[D7]ll of my favorite [C]tun[G]es

Repeat Chorus:

[G]The white meat is on the run
And the d[C]ark meat is far too d[G]one
And the milkman left me a note yester[D7]day
Get o[G]ut of this town by Noon
You're co[C]ming on way too s[G]oon
And besides that we never li[D7]ked you a[C]nyw[G]ay

Repeat Chorus:

Sweet Re[G]venge, Sweet Re[D7]venge
Will pr[C]evail without f[G]ail
