[A] _ [B] _ [C#] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
I [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] went to a garden [G] party [D] to reminisce with my [G] old friends, [A] a [D] [F#m] chance to share [Bm] old _ [D] memories
[G] _ [A] and play [D] songs again.
_ When I got to the [G] garden party, _ [D] they all knew [G] my name, [D] but the [F#m] one [Bm] recognized [D] me.
_ [G] I [A] didn't look [D] the same, but [G] it's [A] all [D] right now.
[G] _ I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
_ [G] You see, you can't _ [D]
please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D]
yourself.
_ _ People came [G] _
miles around.
[D] _ Everyone [G] was there.
_ [D] In the local [F#m] _ [Bm] broader [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 [D] Dylan's [G] shoes, [A] wearing his [D]
disguise.
But [G] it's [D] all right now.
_ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D]
well.
_ _ [G] _ Can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D]
yourself.
_ _ [G] _ [A] La da [D] da da, _ _ [G] _ [A] la da da [D] da da.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [Bm] _ [A] _ [D] Played them all [G] the old songs.
[D] I thought that's why [G] they came.
_ _ [D] No [A] one heard [Bm] the [D] music.
_ [G] We [A] didn't look [D] the same.
_ I said hello [G] to Mary Lou.
[D] _ She belongs [G] to me.
[D] And I sang a song about a honky [G] tonk.
[A] It was time [D] to leave, but [G] it's [A] all [D] right now.
_ [G] I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
You [G] see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to [D] please yourself.
_ _ [G] _ [A] La da [D] da da, la da da [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] da da.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ [D] _ _
_ _ Someone opened up [G]
a closet door [D] and out stepped Johnny [G] B.
Good _ _ [D] playing [A] guitar [Bm] like a ring [D] in a bell [G] and [A] looking like [D] it should.
_ You got to play at [G] garden parties.
_ [D] I wish you a lot [G] of luck.
_ [D] But if [A] memories [Bm] were all [D] I sang, [G] I'd [A] rather drive [D] a truck.
But [G] it's [D] all right now.
_ [G] I learned [D] my lesson well.
_ [G] You see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D]
yourself.
_ _ [G] _ [A] La da [D]
da da, [G] _ [A] la da da [D] da da.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And [Gm] it's [D] all right now.
_ _ _ [A] Learned my [D] lesson well.
_ _ [G] _ She can't _ [D]
please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to [D] please yourself.
