Party Generation

INTRO: G  C  Am  D  (4x)  G

        C       Am         
When he turned 34, but who's 
  D         G
counting
            C       Am            
He couldn't find anyone who wanted
    D
 to party
      G               F        
So he walked around a playground 
         C               D
with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
       G                  C       
And he heard the sound of laughter
        Am              D     
 and he followed it for fifteen 
          G
blocks
            C             Am      
There was a house between Mavis 
  D
and Water
          G          C         
They were out on the porch, they 
       Am             D         G
were inside playing quarters
       Am                       
And he said, "Don't you know the 
        D
game Kazaam? It's a better game,
    Am                             
You point your elbow at someone and
 D
 say somebody else's name
       Am               G         
And it alternates whose turn it is
     C               D
 and if you lose you drink."
           Am        G            
They said, "Man, you really make 
  C                D
us think, yeah, you make us think
    G
And so..."


CHORUS:
              C            Am  D 
Tonight we're gonna be the party
   G

        C               Am  D    G
We will party all night long__
           F         C
We are the party generation
          Am                  D
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
      G
Party on


        C            Am           
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it 
   D             G
started winding down
       C              Am          
And he knew what they needed, they
        D
 needed doughnuts
        G             F    
So they walked out to Krispy 
            C              D
Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
       G            C             
It was there at the doorway he 
      Am     D            G
said, "Oh, well maybe not."
  C               Am        D
Inside there were six women talking
              G         C          
They were the most justified angry 
Am     D
ex-girlfriends
         Am                     
And they swivelled around slowly 
           D
like they saw something bad
Continúa después del anuncio
            Am                 
Through the eyes in the back of 
       D
their heads, like he always knew 
they had
         Am              G        
And they said, "What a 
       C                   D
coincidence" and "Hey you're just 
the man,
        Am              G         
We were saying that you did the 
             C                D
best you could, you're fine, we 
understand
    G
And so..."


CHORUS:
              C            Am  
Tonight we're gonna be the party 
      D    G
(party)
        C               Am  D    G
We will party all night long__
           F         C
We are the party generation
             Am                 D
You were the best, but we'll survive
      G
Party On

INSTRUMENTAL: F  C  E  F    C  D


       G                     C    
In the morning they sent him home 
       Am         D
with a designated driver
       G            C             
And he lay down and thought about 
    Am    D
the whole night
       G                 F        
And he looked up at the photo that
    C       D
 he got at a junk shop
       G          C             
It was only fifty cents, but he 
Am            D            G
framed it and everything
           C             Am       
It was the kind of party that you 
     D            G
hope never ends
          C            Am         
The lucky party boy surrounded by 
    D
his friends
              Am                   
And they were all in pointed hats, 
       D
caught in a rebel birthday shout
    Am                             
And he was at the candles with his 
D                         Am
mom there to help him out
            G                  C  
There was a lot that you could 
              D           Am
learn if you lay near them
            G                   C 
Like if you listened, you could 
                      D
hear them, and he could hear them
          G
They say...


CHORUS:
              C            Am

             Am              D
So lift your head, lift your head
          G
Blow them out
