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

INTRO: [D#] [/D] [Cm7] [/A#] [G#] [A#] [D#]

VERSE 1:
I [D#] went to a garden par-[G#]-ty,
To remi-[D#]-nisce with my old [G#] friends
A [D#] chance to [/D] share old [Cm7] memo-[/A#]-ries;
[G#] And play our [A#] songs again [D#]
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 [G#] all-[A#]-right [D#] now [Cm7]
I [G#] learned my [A#] lesson [D#] well [Cm7]
You see you [G#] can't [A#] please [D#] every-[Cm7]-one
So you [G#] have got to [A#] please yourself [D#] [Cm7]

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]
