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
