^{Key: :[F#] (w: Tom Paxton, 1974) (BPM: 90 / 39-A)}

INTRO: [F#] : [x4]

CHORUS:
Could have been the [F#] whiskey, might have been the gin
Could have been the [F#] three or four six-packs
[F#] I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a [B] football, I think I'm gonna [F#] die
Tell me, [C#] me, oh, me, oh, [C# open] my. Wasn't that a [F#] party?

VERSE 1:
Someone took a [F#] grapefruit, and wore it like a hat
I saw [F#] someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat
they were talking about [B] hockey, and the cat was talkin' [F#] back
Along about [C#] then everything went black, but wasn't that a [F#] party?

BRIDGE:
Maybe just my [B] memory, playin' tricks on [F#] me
but I [G#] think I saw my buddy cuttin' down my neighbour's [C#] tree

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [x2]
[F#] [F#] [F#] [F#] / [B] [B] [F#] [F#] / [C#] [B] [F#] [F#]

BRIDGE:
[C#] Billy Joe and [B] Tommy, well, they went a little [F#] far
they were [G#] sitting in the back seat blowing on the siren
from somebody's police [C#] car

VERSE:3
So, you see, your [F#] honor, it was all in fun
That little bitty [F#] track-meet down on the main street
was just to [F#] see if the cops could run
Well, they run us in to [B] see you, in an alcoholic [F#] haze
I can sure [C#] use those thirty days to recover from the [F#] party

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+2] [G#]

CHORUS 2:
Could have been the [G#] whiskey, might have been the gin
could have been the [G#] three or four six-packs
I don't know, but [G#] look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a [C#] football, I think I'm gonna [G#] die
Tell me, [D#] me, oh, me, oh, [D# open] my. Wasn't that a [G#] party?
