Garden Party - Rick Nelson
C F C F
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends.
C G Am F G7 C
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again.
F C F
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name,
C F Dm7 G7 C
But no one recognized me, I didn't look the same.
F G C F G C
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
F C Dm7 G7 C
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
C F C F
People came from miles around. Everyone was there.
C G Am F G7 C
Yoko brought her walrus. There was magic in the air.
F C F
And over in the corner, much to my surprise,
C F Dm7 G7 C
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.
F G C F G C
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
F C Dm7 G7 C
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
C F C F
I played them all the old songs, I thought that's why they came.
C G Am F G7 C
No one heard the music. We didn't look the same.
F C F
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me.
C F Dm7 G7 C
When I sang a song about a Honky-Tonk, it was time to leave.
F G C F G C
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
F C Dm7 G7 C
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
C F C F
Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode,
C G Am F G7 C
Playing guitar like a ring and a bell and lookin' like he should.
F C F
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta lock,
C F Dm7 G7 C
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.
F G C F G C
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
F C Dm7 G7 C
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
