[Verse 1]
D G D
Why, you won't believe what happened last night on my way home
D E7 A7
I stopped at Joe's to have a drink and to call you on the phone
D G D
Then I met Bill and Harry and both of them bought a round
D A7 D
Before I knew what happened, my head was spinning 'round
[Verse 2]

From a booth back in the corner, this blonde gave me a glance
D E7 A7
And I don't know why I did it, but I asked her to dance
D G D
Then Harry played the jukebox and we all sang along
D A7 D
We were having so much fun, how could I think of home?

Think of home, think of home

We were having so much fun

How could I think of home?
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E A E
Then I said something awful to a stranger at the bar
E F#7 B7
The next thing I remember, they'd carried me to the car
E A E
And I know it sounds ridiculous and you think I'm just talking smooth
E B7 E
But that's exactly how it happened and honey, that's the honest truth
[Outro]

Honey? Now, honey. It's the truth! Really! Honest!

Ask Harry! Ask Bill! Ask anybody!
N.C.
