verse 1
D Em F#m Em
My wife Mary made a lovely shepherd?s pie & peas
D Bm F#m
With carrots and gravy, oh and cabbage as an additional green
D Em F#m Em
I said that looks fantastic love and I tucked in hungrily
D Bm F#m
My daughter Karen didn?t, something I wish I?d seen
D Em F#m Em
For soon my plate was empty, I said ?Mary, is there any more??
D Bm F#m
She said ?No, love, but its treacle sponge for afters? and I said ?phwoar?
D Em F#m Em
I?d had a couple of mouthfuls, when I heard Karen declare
D Bm F#m
?I can?t eat any more of this shepherd?s pie mum?
A D Em F#m Em
Well it filled me with despair. (because if I?d known that I wouldn?t have started my sweet)
Chorus
G A F#m Bm A
But I can?t go back to savoury now
G A F#m Bm A
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
G A F#m Bm A
I can?t go back to savoury now
G Gm
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
(?cause you can?t can you?)
D Em F#m
verse 2
D Em F#m Em
My tummy was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused
D Bm F#m
And as Karen?s dinner grew colder, so did my sweet
D Em F#m Em
For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was now massively reduced
D Bm F#m
By the sight of fluffy potato, and glistening meat
G A
Take this plate from me Oh Lord, before I go insane
G Gdim
Should I press on with me afters, or go back to my main?
Chorus
G A F#m Bm A
Oh I can?t go back to savoury now
G A F#m Bm A
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
G A F#m Bm A
I can?t go back to savoury now Oh no
G Gm
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
MIDDLE
D Dm7
I can?t go back, I won?t go back
G Gm7
I?d love to go back but I mustn?t do that
D Dm7
I can?t go back, I won?t go back
G Gm7 A
Obviously I?d love to go back, but I mustn?t do that ... Oh
verse 3
D Em F#m Em
At that moment I heard a sound, a scrape of knife on plate
D Bm F#m
As I watched Karen?s dinner go in the dog?s dish
D Em F#m Em
My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate
D Bm F#m A D
I can only assume this appalling outcome was God?s wish
Chorus
G
?Cause I can?t go back to savoury...
A B G#m C#m B
I can?t go back to savoury now
A B G#m C#m B
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
A B G#m C#m B
I can?t go back to savoury now
A Am E
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
REPRISE
A E
I can?t go back to savoury now
