  WASN'T THAT A PARTY   Time: 2/2   Tenor: E   Bass: C - D

  

  

  CHORUS:

  

  1                 *        *   *

  Could've been the whiskey

  *                 *    *   *

  Might've been the gin

  *                 *             *          * 

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

      17          *        * 

  But look at the mess I'm in

     *              4        *   *

  My head is like a football

    *                  1     *   *

  I think I'm going to die

  *        5      *     *

  Tell me, me oh, me oh my

  *             1      *    *

  Wasn't that a party

  

  

  1              *           *   * 

  Someone took a grapefruit

  *              *     *    *

  Wore it like a hat

  *     *       *        *       *

  I saw someone under my kitchen table

  57            *       *  

  Talking to my old tom cat

            *             4      *

  They were talking about hockey

      *               1     *

  The cat was talking back

  *          5          *          *

  Long about then every-thing went black

  *             1      *   *

  Wasn't that a party           (CHORUS)

  

  

      *                  4     *   *

  I'm sure it's just my memory

          *         1     *    *

  Playing tricks on me

        2       *      *      * 

  But I think I saw my buddy

          *       *           5     *

  Cutting down my neighbour's tree      (CHORUS)

  *             4      *   * 

  Billy Joe and Tommy

       *                  1    *   *

  Well they went a little far

            2              *          *            *

  They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a sireen

       *          *      5    *

  >From somebody's police car

  

  

  *                 1     *    *

  So you see, Your Honour

  *             *     *    *

  It was all in fun

      *            *          *       *

  The little bitty track meet down on main street

      *       57         *          *

  Was just to see if the cops could run

            *            4       *    *

  Well they run us in to see you

  *               1      *     *

  In an alcoholic haze

    *        5         *      *

  I sure can use those thirty days

        *              1      *   *
