Party Generation Dar Williams
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C Am D (4x) G
When he [C]turned 3[Am]4, but who's [D]counting[G]
He couldn't [C]find any[Am]one who wanted to [D]party
So he [G]walked around a [F]playground with a [C]bag of Mickey's [D]Tallboys
And he [G]heard the sound of [C]laughter and he [Am]followed it for [D]fifteen blocks[G]
There was a [C]house between [Am]Mavis and [D]Water
They were [G]out on the [C]porch, they were [Am]inside playing [D]quarters[G]
And he [Am]said, "Don't you know the game Ka[D]zaam? It's a better game,
You [Am]point your elbow at someone and [D]say somebody else's name
And it [Am]alternates whose [G]turn it is and [C]if you lose you [D]drink."
They said, [Am]"Man, you [G]really make us [C]think, yeah, you [D]make us think
And [G]so..."
CHORUS:
Tonight we're [C]gonna be the [Am]part[D]y[G]
We will [C]party all night [Am]long[D]__[G]
We are the [F]party gene[C]ration
So have a [Am]seat, what's in the [D]bag?
Party [G]on
'Round a[C]bout 1:00 or [Am]2:00 it started [D]winding down[G]
And he [C]knew what they [Am]needed, they needed [D]doughnuts
So they [G]walked out to [F]Krispy Kruller's [C]All Nite Sugar [D]Palace
It was [G]there at the [C]doorway he said, "Oh[Am], well [D]maybe not."[G]
In[C]side there were [Am]six women [D]talking
They were the [G]most justi[C]fied angry [Am]ex-girl[D]friends
And they [Am]swivelled around slowly like they [D]saw something bad
Through the [Am]eyes in the back of their [D]heads, like he always knew they had
And they [Am]said, "What a co[G]incidence" and "[C]Hey you're just the [D]man,
We were [Am]saying that you [G]did the best you could,[C] you're fine, we [D]understand
And [G]so..."
CHORUS:
Tonight we're [C]gonna be the [Am]party (par[D]ty)[G]
We will [C]party all night [Am]long[D]__[G]
We are the [F]party gene[C]ration
You were the [Am]best, but we'll sur[D]vive
Party [G]On

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