| 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.. | ||
| 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. | ||

| Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my ... wasn't that a party? | ||

| C Bb F | ||
| 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. | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
