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

‘Cause I can’t go back to savoury...
