                    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..

I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.

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.
