[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
