Ricky Nelson, Garden Party (1972)
^{Key: :[C#] (w: Ricky Nelson)}

INTRO: [C#] [/C] [A#m7] [/G#] [F#] [G#] [C#]

VERSE 1:
I [C#] went to a garden par-[F#]-ty,
To remi-[C#]-nisce with my old [F#] friends
A [C#] chance to [/C] share old [A#m7] memo-[/G#]-ries;
[F#] And play our [G#] songs again [C#]
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
But no one recognised me, I didn't look the same

CHORUS:
But it's [F#] all-[G#]-right [C#] now [A#m7]
I [F#] learned my [G#] lesson [C#] well [A#m7]
You see you [F#] can't [G#] please [C#] every-[A#m7]-one
So you [F#] have got to [G#] please yourself [C#] [A#m7]

VERSE 2:
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought a walrus, there was magic in the air
And over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mister shoes hid in Dylan's shoes, wearing his disguise

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
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
And I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
Someone opened up the closet door, and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a ringing a bell, and looking like he should
If you gotta play garden parties, I wish you a lot of luck
But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
