[A] [B] [C#] [Bm]
[Em] [D] I
[G] [A] [D] [A] went to a garden [G] party [D] to reminisce with my [G] old friend
[D] A chance to [C#]
[Bm] share old [D] memories [G] and [D] play a song again
When I got to the garden [G] party [D] and they all [G] illuminated
[D] No one
[Bm] recognized [D] me, [G] [D] I didn't look the same
But [G] it's [D#] alright [D] now, [G] I learned [D] my lesson well
[G] You see you can't [D] please everyone [G] so you got [D] to please yourself
People came [G] from miles around, [D] everyone [G] was there
[D] And the [F#m] yokel from the [D] warhead, [G] there was [F#m] magic [D] in the air
And over in [G] the corner, [D] much to my [G] surprise
[D] Mr.
[C#m] Hughes [Bm] in Dillard's shoes, [G] [F#m] wearing his [D] disguise
But [G] it's [D] alright now, [G] I learned [D] my lesson well
You [G] see you can't [D] please everyone [G] so you [D] got to please yourself
[G] [A] Da da [D] da da da, [G] [A] da da [D] da da da
[G]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] I played them [G] all the old songs, [D] I thought that's why [G] they came
[D] But no [F#m] one [Bm] heard the [D] music, [G] and we [D] didn't love the same
I said hello [G] to Mary Lou, [D] she belongs [G] to me
[D] Oh when I sang a song about a honky [G] tonk, [D] it was time to leave
But [G] it's alright [D] now, [G] I learned [D] my lesson well
You [G] see you can't [D] please everyone [G] so you [F#m] got to please [D] yourself
[G] [A] Da da [D] da da da, [Bm] da da [G] da [D] da da
Someone [G]
[D] [G] [D]
opened [G] the closed door, [D] out stepped Johnny [G] B.
Goode
[D] Playing [A] guitar [Bm] like a ring [D] in the bell, [G] and [D] looking like a show
If you got to play a [G] garden party, [D] I wish you a lot [G] of love
[D] For the [A] memories, [Bm] for all [D] I sang, [G] [A] I'd rather [D] drive a truck
But [G] it's [F#m] alright
[D] now, [G] I learned my lesson [D] well
[G] You see you can't please [D] everyone [G] so you [A] got to [D] please yourself
[G] Da [F#m] da [D]
da da da, [G] da da da [D] da da
[G] [D]
And [G] it's alright now, I learned [A] my [D]
lesson well
[G] You see you can't [D] please everyone [G] so you [D] got to please yourself
