Garden Party Ricky Nelson
[C] [----] [F] [----] [Am7] [----] [G]
I [C]went to a garden par[F]ty-- to remi[C]nisce with my old [F]friends
A [C]chance to share old [Am7]memories-- [F]And play our [G]songs again[C]
When I [C]got to the garden par[F]ty--[C]They all knew my [F]name
But [C]no one recogn[Am7]ised me--[F]I didn't [G]look the same[C]
chorus
But it's [F]all [G]right [C]now [Am7]
I [F]learned my [G]lesson [C]well
You see you [F]can't please [C]ev'ryone
So you [F]have got to [G]please yourself [C]
[C]People came from [F]miles around-- [G]Everyone was [F]there
[C]Yoko brought her [Am7]walrus-- [F]There was [G]magic in the [C]air
And[C] over in the [F]corner -- [C]Much to my [F]surprise
[C]Mister Hughes hid in [Am7]Dylan's shoes-- [F]Wearin'[G] his disquise[C]
chorus
[C]Played them all the [F]old songs-- [G]Thought that's why they [F]came
[C]No one heard the [Am7]music-- [F]We didn't [G]look the [C]same
[C]I said hello to [F]Marylou-- [G]She belongs to [F]me
And I [C]sang a song about a [Am7]honkytonk-- [F]It was [G]time to leave[C]
chorus
Someone [C]opened up the [F]closet door-- And [G]out stepped Johnny B. [F]Goode
[C]Playing guitar like a [Am7]ringin" a bell-- [F]And looking [G]like he [C]should
If you [C]gonna play garden [F]parties-- [G]I wish you a lot of [F]luck
But if [C]memories were [Am7]all I sang-- [F]I'd rather [G]drive a [C]truck.
chorus
