Rovers - Wasn't That A Party guitar chord
Wasn’t 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 don’t know
D7
But look at the mess I’m in
G
My head is like a football
D
I think I’m gonna die
A
Tell me me-oh-me-oh my
D
A-wasn’t that a 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-wasn’t that a party
Bridge 1:
G
I’m sure it’s just my mem’ry
D
Playin’ tricks on me
E7
But I think I saw my buddy
A
Cuttin’ down my neighbors tree
Chorus
Piano lead
Sax lead
Bridge 2:
G
Billy Joe and Tommy
D
Well they went a little far
E7
They were sittin in my backyard
A
Blowin’ on a siren of somebody’s 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)
