D                       A7 Ab7 G7                           D  
Take it back, take it back,   take that thing right out of here. 
A         D       A7 Ab7 G7                            D 
Right away, far away,    take that thing right out of here. 
 

Am A#m Bm                      Am A#m Bm  
         Don't let them take me       to where streams are red. 
Am A#m Bm                      Am A#m Bm  
        I want to stay here           and sleep in my own bed. 


G7            
Need all your loving, long blonde hair, 
G7 
Don't let them take me 'cause I'm easily scared. 
C#7 D                     A7  Ab7 G7                            D

(Chorus:) 
 

Am A#m Bm                    Am A#m Bm  
       I got this great need,       the need to stay alive. 
Am A#m Bm                      Am A#m Bm  
       Not ashamed of my creed,        I've got to survive. 
G7            
So come on baby, don't go away, 
G7 
Just let them save me for a rainy day. 
C#7 D                     A7  Ab7 G7                            D

(Repeat 2nd Verse) 
 
(Chorus) 
 

Am A#m Bm                Am A#m Bm  
        I got this thing,        I've got to keep it sharp. 
Am A#m Bm         Am A#m Bm  
Don't go to places         where it won't shine in the dark. 
G7 
So come on baby, don't go away, 
G7 
Just let them save me for a rainy day. 
C#7 D                     A7  Ab7 G7                            D 
    Take it back, take it back,   take that thing right out of here.
