[A]
[B]
[C#] [Bm] [Em]
[D] [Bm] [G] I
[A] [D] went to a garden [G] party to [D] reminisce with my old [G] friends, [A] [D] a [F#m] chance to share [Bm] old [D] memories
[G] [A] and play our [D] songs again.
When I got to the [G] garden party, [D] they all knew [G] my name, [D] but no one [Em] recognized [Bm] [D]
me.
[G] I [A] didn't [D] look the same, but [G] [D] it's alright now.
[G]
I learned my [A] [D] lesson well.
[G] See, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to [D] please yourself.
People came, [G] miles around, [D] everyone [G] was there.
[D] In the yoke [F#m] of [Bm] [D] Bradawaras, [G] there was [A] magic [D] in the air.
And over in [G] the corner,
[D] much to my [G] surprise, [D] Mr.
[A] Hughes [Bm] hid in Dylan's [G] shoes,
[A] wearing his [D] disguise.
But [G] it's [A] alright [D] now.
[G] I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
[G] 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]
[G] [A] [D] [Bm]
[A] [D] They played them all [G] the old songs, [D] thought that's why [G] they came.
[D] No [F#m] 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] When I 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.
[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 [G] da da [A] da.
[D]
[G] [D]
[Am] [D]
Someone opened up [G] a closet door, [D] and out stepped Johnny [G] B.
Goode.
[D] Playing [C#m] guitar [Bm] like a ring and [D] a bell, [G] and [A] looking like [D] it should.
You gotta play at [G] garden parties, [D] I wish you a lot [G] of luck.
[F#] But if [A] memories [Bm] were all [D] I sang, [G] I'd [A] rather drive [D] a truck.
But [G] it's [D] alright now.
[G] I learned my lesson [D] well.
[G] See, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D] yourself.
[G] [A] La da [D] da
[G] da, [A] la da da [D] da [G] da.
[D]
And it's alright now.
I learned [A] my [D] lesson well.
[G] See, you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D] yourself.
