D      A    Bm     A       D      A    Bm     A
Ooh   Ooh   Ooh   Ooh  ;   Ooh   Ooh   Ooh   Ooh


Verse 1:

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

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

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

    D       A     Bm      D    Em7        A        D
but no one recog-nized    me,   I didn't look the same


Chorus:

D         G   A     D    Bm            G          A      D
But it's, all right now.            I learned my lesson well.

             G      A      D   Bm          Em7      A      D
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.


Verse 2:

D                G             D            G
People came from miles around. Everyone was there.

D      A         Bm   D        G              A       D
Yoko brought her walrus.      There was magic in the air.

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

D    A            Bm       D      Em7     A        D
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes   wearing his disguise.


Chorus:

D         G   A     D    Bm            G          A      D
But it's, all right now.            I learned my lesson well.

             G      A      D   Bm          Em7      A      D
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

G   A  D  Bm  G     A     D      G A D Bm     Em7 A  D
Lot da da,    lot n da da da


Verse 3:

D                     G            D                       G
I played them all the old songs, I thought that's why they came.

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

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

        D      A            Bm    D      Em7     A        D
When I sang a song about a honky tonk,   it was time to leave.


Chorus:

D         G   A     D    Bm            G          A      D
But it's, all right now.            I learned my lesson well.

             G      A      D   Bm          Em7      A      D
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

G   A  D  Bm  G     A     D      G A D Bm     Em7 A  D
Lot da da,    lot n da da da


Verse 4:

D                     G               D                      G
Someone opened up the closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode,

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

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

         D   A       Bm      D      Em7           A        D
But if memories were all  I sang,     I'd rather drive a truck.


Chorus:

D         G   A     D    Bm            G          A      D
But it's, all right now.            I learned my lesson well.

             G      A      D   Bm          Em7      A      D
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

Lot da da,    lot n da da da

D         G   A     D    Bm            G          A      D
But it's, all right now.            I learned my lesson well.

             G      A      D   Bm          Em7      A      D
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
