[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 Honour
It 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
