Dar Williams - Party Generation


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G C majorC A minorAm D MajorD (4x) G+G

    C majorC    A minorAm      D MajorD     G+G
When he turned 34, but who's counting
      C majorC    A minorAm        D MajorD
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
   G+G        FF         C majorC        D MajorD
So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
    G+G         C majorC        A minorAm       D MajorD        G+G
And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks
      C majorC       A minorAm    D MajorD
There was a house between Mavis and Water
     G+G     C majorC        A minorAm       D MajorD     G+G
They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters
    A minorAm                D MajorD
And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
  A minorAm               D MajorD
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name
    A minorAm        G+G       C majorC        D MajorD
And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."
      A minorAm    G+G       C majorC        D MajorD
They said, "Man, you really make us think, yeah, you make us think
  G+G
And so..."

CHORUS:
       C majorC      A minorAm D MajorD  G+G
Tonight we're gonna be the party
    C majorC        A minorAm D MajorD  G+G
We will party all night long__
      FF     C majorC
We are the party generation
     A minorAm         D MajorD
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
   G+G
Party on


    C majorC      A minorAm       D MajorD       G+G
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it started winding down
    C majorC       A minorAm         D MajorD
And he knew what they needed, they needed doughnuts
    G+G       FF        C majorC       D MajorD
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
    G+G      C majorC          A minorAm   D MajorD      G+G
It was there at the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."
 C majorC        A minorAm    D MajorD
Inside there were six women talking
       G+G     C majorC     A minorAm   D MajorD
They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends
     A minorAm                D MajorD
And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad
      A minorAm            D MajorD
Through the eyes in the back of their heads, like he always knew they had
     A minorAm       G+G        C majorC          D MajorD
And they said, "What a coincidence" and "Hey you're just the man,
    A minorAm       G+G           C majorC        D MajorD
We were saying that you did the best you could, you're fine, we understand
  G+G
And so..."

CHORUS:
       C majorC      A minorAm    D MajorD  G+G
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
    C majorC        A minorAm D MajorD  G+G
We will party all night long__
      FF     C majorC
We are the party generation
       A minorAm         D MajorD
You were the best, but we'll survive
   G+G
Party On


BRIDGE:
  FF   C majorC   D MajorD         G+G
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  FF   C majorC   D MajorD         G+G
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  FF     C majorC     D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah


INSTRUMENTAL: FF C majorC E MajorE FF  C majorC D MajorD


    G+G           C majorC      A minorAm     D MajorD
In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver
    G+G      C majorC         A minorAm  D MajorD
And he lay down and thought about the whole night
    G+G         FF      C majorC    D MajorD
And he looked up at the photo that he got at a junk shop
    G+G     C majorC       A minorAm      D MajorD      G+G
It was only fifty cents, but he framed it and everything
      C majorC       A minorAm      D MajorD      G+G
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends
     C majorC      A minorAm       D MajorD
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends
       A minorAm             D MajorD
And they were all in pointed hats, caught in a rebel birthday shout
  A minorAm               D MajorD             A minorAm
And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out
      G+G         C majorC        D MajorD      A minorAm
There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them
      G+G          C majorC            D MajorD
Like if you listened, you could hear them, and he could hear them
     G+G
They say...


CHORUS:
       C majorC      A minorAm    D MajorD  G+G
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)

We will party all night long__
      FF     C majorC
We are the party generation
       A minorAm       D MajorD
So lift your head, lift your head
     G+G
Blow them out


CHORUS:
