Wasn't That A Party
by The Irish Rovers
Chorus:
D
Could've been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
G
My head is like a football
D
I think I'm going to die
A
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
D
Wasn't that a party
Verse:
D
Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat......
G
They were talking about hockey
D
The cat was talking back
A
Long about then every-thing went black.....
D
Wasn't that a party
Bridge:
G
I'm sure it's just my memory
D
Playing tricks on me
E
But I think I saw my buddy
A
Cutting down my neighbour's tree
Chorus:
D
Could've been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
G
My head is like a football
D
I think I'm going to die
A
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
D
Wasn't that a party
Bridge:
A G
Billy Joe and Tommy
D
Well they went a little far
E
They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a siren
A
In somebody's police car
Verse:
A D
So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run
G
Well they run us in to see you
D
In an alcoholic haze
A
I sure can use those thirty days
D
To recover from the party
Chorus:
D
Could've been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
G
My head is like a football
D
I think I'm going to die
A
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
D
Wasn't that a party
Chorus:
D
Could've been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
G
My head is like a football
D
I think I'm going to die
A
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
