[G] Could have been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six-pack side.
Oh, no, but once you look at the mess
I'm in [C] a head like what fall I [G] think I'm gonna die
But [D] tell me I mean, oh me.
Oh my [G] wasn't that a party?
Someone had a grapefruit
More like a hat I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to an old strong cat.
He was [C] talking about football
The [G] cat was talking back
[D] Along about then everything went [Bm] black, [G] but what you made a party?
I'm [C] sure it's just my memory
playing [G] tricks on me
[A] But I believe I saw my buddy sitting up
In [D] my neighbor's tree [G] was singing a folk song
Sounded pretty good
Would have sounded better if his wife hadn't made such a racket chopping up my neighbor's wood.
[C] I think it was his woodpile
But [G] it could have been his door
I [D] know she [G] must have got three or four, but wasn't that a party?
[C] Bill and Joe and Tommy
went [G] a little far
[A] They were sitting in my front yard blowing on the siren of [D] somebody's police car and [G] so you see your honor
It was all in fun
That little fiddly track meet down on Main Street was just to see if the cops could run they [C] run us in to see you
in an [G] alcoholic phase
And the sir can use those [N] 30 days, but [G] wasn't that a party?
They [C] run in the scene
in an [G] alcoholic phase
And the sir [D] can
Might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six-pack side.
Oh, no, but once you look at the mess
I'm in [C] a head like what fall I [G] think I'm gonna die
But [D] tell me I mean, oh me.
