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
