Chords for JOHN FOGERTY-"Garden Party" AMA Awards 9/2009

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
Well, I [D] chose this next song I'm going to do.
It's a [B] song that's on my [N] _ latest album, Blue Ridge [E] Rangers.
I had to get it. _ _
[G] _ Some of you may know, some of you may not.
You know, you just [B] honored me [Bm] with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
[G#] You may not realize that for 25 years [E] or so, [G] because of a lot of, what do you call that, backstage, _ legal, _ _ record company [N] maneuvering,
for about 25 years I didn't sing those songs in public. _
_ _ _ And so this song that I'm about to do [B] really resonates [Bm] with me because of the words and the meaning.
One of the _ _ _ phrases is, well you [C#] can't please everyone, [N] so you just have to please yourself. _ _
And _ _ that's what this song's about.
I didn't write this [G] song.
I'm not a great songwriter.
This song, you know, [A#] it's great when people can put a _ good thought [B] to music and have it [A#] go around the world and mean something [C#] to somebody.
So [B] here you go.
_ _ _ [D] _
I should tell you, [F#] everything is great [D] now.
Everything is okay.
I sing those songs all the time.
I met a [G] beautiful woman named Julie. _
[D#] And I have love in my [N] heart and health in my life.
_ Yeah, Julie! _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [D] _ _

[A] All right [D] now, _ _ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
_ [G] You can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you just [A] have to please [D] yourself. _ _ _
Oh, came [G] from miles around, [D] _
everyone [G] was there.
_ _ [D] Your boat brought [Bm] a woman, [D] _ [G] there was a [A] man in [D] the air.
_ And over in [G] the corner, _ [D] it must have been my [G] surprise.
_ _ [D] Mr.
[A] Hughes, [Bm] it's been [D] a shoot, [G] _
where [A] is [D] this guy?
_ _ [G] All [A] right [D] now, [Bm] _ [G] I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
_ [G] _ _
You can't please [D] everyone, [G] so you [A] just have to please [D] yourself.
_ _ [G] La [A] la da [Bm] da da, _ _ _ [G] la [A] la da [D] da da, _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ they pimp on [G] the old song.
[D] But that's why [G] they can't, _ _ [D] no woman heard [Bm] a reason.
And [D] then, _ [G] they [A] had a little [D] crusade.
_ I said, hello, [G] if you're married, _ [D] _
she [G] belongs to me.
_ [D] And I sang the song [Bm] that I hope [A] you don't [G] _
[A] hear me finally.
[D] _ _ [G] But, _ [A] all [D] right now, _ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
_ _ [G] _
You can't please _ [D] everyone, [G] so you just [A] have to please [D] yourself.
_ _ [G] La [A] la da da [D] da, _ la la [G] _
[A] da da [D] da, _ _ _ [G] they _ [D] pimp _ _ [G] on the old [A] [D] song.
_ _ _ Oh, baby girl, [G] you're quality dope, [D] and I'm still [G] trying to be good.
_ _ [D] _
Lady [G] shot at the [Bm] ring [D] and the face, [G] and [A] look at like [D] you.
_ _ And you gotta say, it's your [G] quality, _ [D] I wish [G] you were loud enough.
_ To [D] let them [F#m] bullies [Bm] wear all my signs, [G] and [A] grab a grudge.
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] All right [D] now, _ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
[G] You _ can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you just [A] have to please [D] yourself.
_ _ [G] La [A] la da [D] da da, _ _ _ [G] la [A] la da da [D] da, _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ what [G] is it?
[D] All right now, _ [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
_ _ [G] _
You can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you just [A] have to please [D] yourself.
