  D                G              D               G
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

  D                   Bm  D    G            A      D
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

                         G      D                G
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name

D          Bm       D G        A        D
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same
[Chorus]
         G   A     D      G          A      D
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well

             G            D                G      A          D
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself
[Verse 2]

People came from miles around, everyone was there

D                Bm      D         G     A      D
Yoko brought her Walrus, there was magic in the air

                G       D             G
And over in the corner, much to my surprise

D                 Bm      D     G       A      D
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
[Chorus]
         G   A     D      G          A      D
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well

             G            D                G      A          D
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself

G       A       D    G      A       D
Lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah

D                   G          D                       G
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came

D                Bm  D  G         A        D
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same

                G         D              G
I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me

       D                   Bm    D     G      A       D
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
[Chorus]
         G   A     D      G          A      D
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well

             G            D                G      A          D
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself

G   A       D                     G      A       D

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode

D                     Bm        D    G           A       D
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should

                            G          D                G
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck

       D   A         Bm    A     G          A       D
But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck
[Chorus]
         G   A     D      G          A      D
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself
