Wasnt That A Party
By The Rovers
Capo 3
Song is in F but I put a capo on 3 and play key of D chords to make it easier
Chorus:
[D]Could-a been the whiskey
Might-a been the gin
Could-a been the 3 or 4 six packs, I dont know
But l[D7]ook at the mess Im in
My head is like a [G]football
I think Im gonna [D]die
Tell me [A]me-oh-me-oh my
A-wasnt that a [D]party
Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talkin to my old tomcat
They were talkin bout hockey
The cat was talking back
A long about then everything went black
A-wasnt that a party
Bridge 1:
Im sure its just my [G]memry
Playin tricks on [D]me
But I [E7]think I saw my buddy
Cuttin [A]down my neighbors tree
Chorus
Piano lead
Sax lead
Bridge 2:
Billy Joe and T[G]ommy
Well they went a little [D]far
They were [E7]sittin in my backyard
Blowin on a siren of [A]somebodys police car
So you see your honor
It was all in fun
That little bit of track meet down on Main Street
Was just to see if the cops could run
Well, they run us into see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those 30 days
To recover from the party
Chorus (Change key to E)
