Intro: (A) (A) (A) (A) (D)
There's a (A) party in my honor, (D) at my house tonight
A few of (A) my ol' drinking buddies (D) will be droppin' by
They'll (G) come to celebrate my gradu(D)ation
After (E7) eight long years, of (A) higher education
So here's to me
(D) I finally passed the (G) bar
As I (D) drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my (A) heart
I never (D) dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so (G) hard
I can't be(D)lieve at last
(A) I finally passed the (D) bar
I've got an (A) awful lot of memories, (D) that I can't recall
But I (A) know from those old stories
I (D) must have had a ball
With the (G) money that I spent on my tu(D)ition
(What would you do hoss)
Well (E7) I could retire and spend the (A) rest of my life fishin'
(Oh well)
So here's to me
(D) I finally passed the (G) bar
As I (D) drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my (A) heart
I never (D) dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so (G) hard
I can't be(D)lieve at last
(A) I finally passed the (D) bar
I was (F#) first in my class
To the bottom of a glass
(G) But it was killin' (D) me
I (E7) used to get loaded
But now I've been voted
(A) Most likely to succeed
So here's to me
(D) I finally passed the (G) bar
As I (D) drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my (A) heart
I never (D) dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so (G) hard
I can't be(D)lieve at last
(A) I finally passed the (D) bar
I can't be(D)lieve at last
(A) I finally passed the (D) bar (A) (D)
