I [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] went to a [G] garden party to [D] reminisce with my [G] old friends, _ [D] a chance [F#m] to share [Bm] old [D] memories
_ [G] and [A] play our [D] songs again.
_ When I got to the [G] garden party, _ _ [D] they all knew [G] my name, _ [D] but no [F#m] one [Bm] recognized [D] me.
_ [G] I [A] didn't look [D] the same, but [G] it's [D] alright _ now.
[G] _ I learned [A] my lesson [D]
well.
You [G] see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you've [A] got to please [D]
yourself.
_ _ People came [G] from miles around, [D] everyone _ [G] was there.
_ [D] In Yoko [F#m] Prada, [Bm] _
[D] Walrus, [G] there was [A] magic in [D] the air.
And over in [G] the corner, _ [D] _ much to my [G] _
surprise, _ [D] Mr.
[A] Hughes [Bm] hid in Dylan's shoes, [G] _ [A] wearing his [D]
disguise.
But [G] it's [A] alright _ [D]
now.
_ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D]

_ [Bm] _ [A] _ [D] I played them all [G] the old songs, [D] thought that's why [G] they came.
_ [D] No [F#m] one heard the [D] music, _ [G] we [A] didn't look [D] the same.
_ I said hello to [G] Mary Lou, [D] _ she belongs [G] to me.
_ [D] And sang a song about a honky _ [G] tonk, [A] it was time [D] to leave.
But [G] it's [D] alright now.
_ [G] I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
You [G] see, you can't _ [D]
please everyone, [G] so [A] you've got to [D] please yourself.

_ _ Someone opened up [G] a closet [D] door, and out stepped Johnny [G] B.
Goode.
_ [D] Playing [F#m] guitar [Bm] like a ring [D] and a bell, _ [G] and looking [A] [D] like he should.
_ _ You've got to play at [G] garden parties, [D] I wish you a lot [G] of luck.
_ But if [A] memories [Bm]
were all [D] I [G] sang, I'd [A] rather [D] drive a truck.
But [G] it's [D] alright now.
_ [G] I learned my [D] lesson well.
_ [G] You see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so [A] you've got to [D] please yourself.
