Garden Party

[Verse 1]
 
[C] I went to a garden [F] party to remi-[C]-nisce with my old [F] friends.  [C] A chance to share old  [A] memories [G]  [F] and play our [G] songs [C]again.  [C] When I got to the garden [F] party, [C] they all knew my [F] name,  but [C] no one recog  -[A]-    nized    me,  [G]  [F] I didn't look [G] the [C] same.
 
{ CHORUS } - - - [C] But it's, [F] all [G] right [C] now.  [C/A]  I [F] learned my [G] lesson [C] well.  You see you, [F] can't please [C] everyone, so you [F] got to [G] please [C] yourself.
 
[Verse 2] - - - [C] People came from [F] miles around. [C] Everyone was [F] there.  [C] Yoko brought her walrus. [A] [G]  There was [F] magic [G] in the [C] air.  [C] And over in the [F] corner, [C] much to my [F] surprise,  [C] Mr. Hughes hid in [A] Dylan's [G] shoes [F] wearing [G] his dis-[C]-guise.
 
{ CHORUS } - - - [F] Lot [G] da [C] da, [F] lot n [G] da da da [F] [C] [F] [G] [C]  
 
[Verse 3] - - - [C] I played them all the [F] old songs, I [C] thought that's why they [F] came.  [C] No one heard the music, [A] [G] [F] We didn't [G] look the [C] same.  [C] I said hello to [F] "Mary Lou", [C] she belongs to [F] me.  When I [C] sang a song about a honky tonk, [A] [G] [F] it was [G] time to [C] leave.

{ CHORUS } - - - [F] Lot [G] da [C] da, [F] lot n [G] da da da [F] [C] [F] [G] [C] 
 
[Verse 4]
[C] Someone opened up the [F] closet door and [C] out stepped Johnny B. [F] Goode,  [C] Playing guitar like a [A] ringin' a bell [G] and [F] lookin' [G] like he [C] should.  If you [C] gotta play at garden [C] parties, I [C] wish you a lotta [F] luck.  [C] But if memories were [A] all I sang, [G]  [F] I'd rather [G] drive a [C] truck.
