Intro:  D, G, D, G, D (step down Db, B, A, G, A, D)  

  (D)              (G)          (D)                    (G)  
I went to a garden party, to reminisce with my old friends  
  (D)      (A)       (Bm)             (G)              (D)  
A chance to share old memories, and play our songs again  
    (D)                (G)          (D)          (G)  
When I got to a garden party, they all knew my name  
 (D)   (A)       (Bm)             (G)     (D)  
No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same.  

(D)    (G)  (A)   (D)  
But it’s all right now  
     (G)    (A)        (D)  
I’ve learned my lesson well  
(G)             (A)       (Bm)               
You see you can’t please everyone  
(G)        (A)       (D)  
So ya got to please yourself 
 
People came from miles around, everyone was there 
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air 
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise 
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise 

 (D) (G)  (A)   (D)  (D)(G)(A)  (D)  
Lat-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah  
(D)  (A)  (Bm)   (G)    (D)  


Played them all the old songs, thought that’s why they came  
No one heard the music, we didn’t look the same.  
I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me,  
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk it was time to leave  
(Chorus)  

Someone opened up a closet door, and out stepped Johnny B. Goode  
Playing guitar like a-ringin’ a bell, and looking like he should.  
If you gotta play a garden party, I wish you a lotta luck  
But if memories were all I sang, I’d rather drive a truck.  

Chorus X2
