[D] [Bm]
[G] [A] [D] [Bm]
[G] I [A] [D] went to a garden [G] party to [D] reminisce with my [G] old friends, [D] a chance to share [Bm] old [D] memories
[G] and [A] play our songs [D] again.
When I got to the garden [G] party, [D] they all knew [G] my name, [D] no [A] one [Bm] recognized [D] me, [G] I [A] didn't look [D] the same.
But [G] it's [A] alright
[D] now, [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well, [G] see you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D] yourself.
People came [G] from miles around, [D] everyone [G] was there, [D] Yoko [A] brought [Bm] her [D] walrus, [G] there was [A] magic in [D] the air.
And over in [G] the corner, [D] much to my [G] surprise, [D] [C#] Mr.
Hughes [Bm] hid his [D] shoes, [G] [A] wearing his [D] disguise.
But [G] it's [A] alright [D] now, [Bm] [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 da, [D] [G] [A] la da da [D] da da, [G]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] played them all [G] the old songs, [D] thought that's why [G] they came, [D] no one heard the music, [G] we [A] didn't look [D] the same.
I said hello [G] to Mary Lou, [D] she belongs to me, when I sang a song about a honk [G] tonk, [A] it was time [D] to leave.
But [G] it's [A] alright
[D] now, [Bm] [G] I learned [A] my lesson well, [G] see you can't [D] please everyone, [G] so you [A] got to please [D] yourself.
[G] La [A] da [D] da, la da [G] [A] da [D] da da, [G]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] someone opened up [G] a closet door, [D] and out stepped Johnny B.
[G] Goode, [D] playing guitar like [Bm] ringing a [D] bell, [G] and looking [A] like he [D] should.
If you got to play at garden [G] parties, I [D] wish you a lot of [G] love, but if [D] memories were [Bm] all I [F#m] sang, [G] I'd rather [A] drive [D] a truck.
But [G] it's [A] alright [D]
now, I learned my lesson well, see you can't please everyone, so [G] you got [A] to please [D]
yourself.
[G] La da [D] da, la da [G] da [A] [D] da da,
[G] [A] [D]
but it's [A] alright [D] now, [Bm] [G] I learned [A] my lesson [D] well, [G] see you can't [D] please everyone, so [G] you got [A] to please [D] yourself.
