Sweet Revenge - John Prine (G)

[VERSE 1]
 
      G
I got kicked off of Noah's Ark
           [C                 G]
I told the chief one kind remark
          G                            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
        [G               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
                  G                         D7
        All of my friends are not dead or in jail
            G
        Through rock and through stone
            [C                G]
        The black wind still moans
              [G             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
        G                                     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
        [G                 D7]                 [C     G!]
But the radio has learned all of my favorite tunes
 
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
 
G
The white meat is on the run
        [C                    G]
And the dark meat is far too done
        [G                            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
    [G                    D7]           [C  G]
And besides that we never liked you anyway
 
[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]
        [G!            D7!]         [C!           G!]
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge will prevail without fail
