Wasn't That a Party - Irish Rovers

Could've been the
D
whiskey, might have been the gin

Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know

But look at the mess I'm in.

My head is like a
G
football, I think I'm gonna
D
die

Tell me
A
me oh, me oh my, wasn't that a
D
party


Someone took a
D
grapefruit, wore it like a hat

I saw someone under my kitchen table

Talking to my old tom cat

They were talking about
G
hockey, the cat was talking
D
back

Long about
A
then everything went black, wasn't that a
D
party


I'm sure it's just my
G
memory playing tricks on
D
me

But I
E
think I saw my buddy cutting down my neighbour's
A
tree

REPEAT CHORUS

Billy, Joe and
G
Tommy, they went a little
D
far

They were
E
sitting in the back yard, blowing on a siren in somebody's police
A
car


So you see, Your
D
Honour, it was all in fun

The little bitty track meet down on main street

Was just to see if the cops could run

Well, they run us in to
G
see you, in an alcoholic
D
haze

I sure can
A
use those thirty days to recover from the
D
party

KEY CHANGE TO E, REPEAT CHORUS
My Rendition
