Wasn’t that a Party - Irish Rovers - 45 bpm


Could've been the
C
whiskey,

Might've been the

gin


Could've been the
C
three or four six-packs,

I don't know, but

look at the mess I'm
C7
in

My head is like a
F
football,

I think I'm going to
C
die


Tell me,
G
me oh, me oh

my. Wasn't that a
C
party.



Someone took a
C
grapefruit,

wore it like a

hat,


I saw
C
someone under my

kitchen table

talking to my old tom
C7
cat

They were talking about
F
hockey.

The cat was talking
C
back.


Long about
G
then every-thing went

black. Wasn't that a
C
party



I'm sure it's just my
F
memory

playing tricks on
C
me


But
D7
I think I saw my

buddy cutting

down my neighbor’s
G
tree

repeat chorus


Billy, Joe and
F
Tommy,

they went a little
C
far


They were
D7
sittin' in my back yard,

blowing on a siren in

somebody's police
C
car


So you see, Your
C
Honor,

it was all in

fun


The little bitty
C
track meet down on

main street was just to

see if the cops could
C7
run

Well they run us in to
F
see you,

in an alcoholic
C
haze


I sure can
G
use those thirty

days to re-cover from the
C
party


key change +2


Could've been the
D
whiskey,

Might've been the

gin


Could've been the
D
three or four six-packs,

I don't know, but

look at the mess I'm
D7
in

My head is like a
G
football,

I think I'm going to
D
die


Tell me,
A
me oh, me oh

my. Wasn't that a
D
party.
