Ladies and gentlemen, Rick Nelson.
[Dm] I [G#]
[A#]
[E]
[G#]
[N] understand that next week you're going to be playing Las Vegas, the Aladdin Hotel,
and this is the first time in your career you've ever played [F] Vegas.
Yeah, that's true.
Why did you all of a sudden decide to play Vegas?
I just wanted to.
It's kind of a [G#] challenge for me, you know,
because we don't really have an [B] act that has a lot of [E] motorcycles or a car,
you know, anything like that.
It's not a big [G] spectacular thing.
We just come out and do what we do, you know. All [Dm] right.
Nelson, what do you think of the party?
[E] [D]
[G] [D] [G]
[A] [D] Went to a garden [G] party to [D] reminisce with my [G] old friend.
[D] Chance [F#m] to share [Bm] old [Am] memories [G] and [A] play songs [D] again.
When I got to the [G] garden party, [D] they all knew [G] my name.
[D] No [F#m] one [Bm] recognized [D] me.
[G] [Am] Didn't look [D] the same.
[G] But it's [A] all [D] right now.
[G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
[G] You see, you can't [D] please everyone, so [Em] you got [D] to please yourself.
People came [G] from miles around.
[D] Everyone [G] was there.
[D] Yoko [A] Broder, [Bm] [D] Walrus.
[G] There was [A] magic in [D] the air.
Over in [G] the corner,
[D] much to my [G] surprise,
[D] [F#m] Mr.
[Bm] Hughes hid in [D] Dylan's [G] shoes, [A] there in his [D] disguise.
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 please [D] yourself.
[Em] [A] [D] I
[G] [A] [D] [G]
played [D]
[A] [D]
them all [G] the old songs.
[D] I thought that's why [G] they came.
[D] No [F#m] one heard [B] the [G] music.
[D]
[G] [A] Didn't look [D] the same.
I said hello [G] to Mary Lou.
[D] She belongs to [G] me.
We [D] sang a [F#m] song [Bm] about a honky [D] tonk.
[G] [A] It was kind of [D] neat.
But [G]
it's [A] all [D] right now.
[Bm] [G]
I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
[G] You see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [Em] got to [D] please yourself.
[G]
[A] [D] [Bm] [Em] Da, da, da, da.
[D]
[G] [D] [Em]
[D]
Opened up [G] the closet [D] door.
Out stepped Johnny B.
[G] Goode.
[D]
Playing [F#m] guitar [Bm] like a ring and [D] a bell.
[G] [A] Looking like [D] a shoe.
Now, you got to play at dark [G] parties.
[D]
Wish you a lot [G] of luck.
[D] But if [A] [Bm] memories were all I [D] sang,
[G] I'd [A] rather drive [D] a truck than a [G] penny.
[A] All [D] right now.
[G]
I learned [A] my lesson [D] well.
[G] You see, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D] yourself.
[G]
Da, [E] da, [D] da, [G] da.
Da, da, da, da.
[A] Da, da, da, [D] da.
[G] All [D] [G]
