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)
