Subject: TAB: Wasn't that a party by Tom Paxton
You might remember this one from the Pop Charts
a few years back, done by a group called the
(Irish) Rovers.
[Chorus]
C
Could've been the whiskey Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
C7 But look at the mess I'm in F My head is like a football C I think I'm going to die G Tell me, me oh, me oh my C Wasn't that a party
[Verse 1]
C
Someone took a grapefruit Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
C7 Talking to my old tom cat F They were talking about hockey C The cat was talking back G Long about then every-thing went black C Wasn't that a party
[Chorus]
C
Could've been the whiskey Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
C7 But look at the mess I'm in F My head is like a football C I think I'm going to die G Tell me, me oh, me oh my C Wasn't that a party
[Bridge]
F I'm sure it's just my memory C Playing tricks on me D But I think I saw my buddy G Cutting down my neighbour's tree
[Chorus]
C
Could've been the whiskey Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
C7 But look at the mess I'm in F My head is like a football C I think I'm going to die G Tell me, me oh, me oh my C Wasn't that a party
[Bridge]
F Billy Joe and Tommy C Well they went a little far D They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a sireen G From somebody's police car
[Verse 2]
C
So you see, Your HonourIt was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
C7 Was just to see if the cops could run F Well they run us in to see you C In an alcoholic haze G I sure can use those thirty days C To re-cover from the party
[Chorus]
C
Could've been the whiskey Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
C7 But look at the mess I'm in F My head is like a football C I think I'm going to die G Tell me, me oh, me oh my C Wasn't that a party
