[Chorus]
                    F
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin,
                    F
could have been the three or four six-packs,
F
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
                  Bb                          F
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die.
         C                  N.C.              F
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my ... wasn't that a party?


[Verse 1]
               F
Someone took a grapefruit, and wore it like a hat.
      F
I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat,
                        Bb                              F
they were talking about hockey, and the cat was talkin' back.
            C
Along about then everything went black,
                  F
but wasn't that a party?


[Bridge]
              Bb                        F
Maybe just my memory, playin' tricks on me,
      G                                                C
but I think I saw my buddy cuttin' down my neighbour's tree,


[Chorus]
                    F
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin..
                    F
could have been the three or four six-packs,
F
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
                  Bb                          F
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die.
         C                  N.C.              F
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my ... wasn't that a party?

[Bridge]
C             Bb                              F
Billy Joe and Tommy, well, they went a little far..
          G
they were sitting in the back seat blowing on the siren,
                       C
from somebody's police car.


[Verse 3]
                  F
So, you see, your honor, it was all in fun.
                  F
That little bitty track-meet down on the main street,
            F
was just to see if the cops could run.
                        Bb                       F
Well, they run us in to see you, in an alcoholic haze.
           C                                         F
I can sure use those thirty days to recover from the party.


[Chorus]
                    G
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin..
                    G
could have been the three or four six-packs,
                  G
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
                  C                           G
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die.
         D                  N.C.              G
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my ... wasn't that a party?


[Chorus]
                    G
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin..
                    G
could have been the three or four six-packs,
                  G
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
                  C                           G
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die.
         D                  N.C.              G
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my ... wasn't that a party?


[Outro]
G                         G
Wasn't that a party? ...  Wasn't that a party?
G                         G
Wasn't that a party? ...  Wasn't that a party?
