Intro: D Em D Em D Em D Em 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.
