Ricky Nelson - Garden Party Chords

[Opening]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [A] [D]
[D]I went to a garden [G]party to remi[D]nisce with my old [G]friends
[D]A chance to share old memories [G]and play our [A]songs a[D]gain.
[D]When I got to the garden [G]party, [D]they all [A]knew my [G]name,
But [D]no one [A]recog[D]nised me, I [G]didn’t [A]look the [D]same.

[chorus]
[D]But it’s [G]all [A]right [D]now. I [G]learned my [A]lesson [D]well.
You see you [G]can’t please [D]everyone, so you [G]got to [A]please your[D]self.

[verse 2]
[D]People came from [G]miles around. [D]Everyone was [G]there.
[D]Yoko brought her walrus. There was [G]magic [A]in the [D]air.
[D]And over in the [G]corner, [D]much to my [G]surprise,
[D]Mr Hughes hid in [A]Dylan’s shoes [G]wearing [A]his dis[D]guise.

[chorus]
[D]But it’s [G]all [A]right [D]now. I [G]learned my [A]lesson [D]well.
You see you [G]can’t please [D]everyone, so you [G]got to [A]please your[D]self.
[G]Lot [A]da [D]da, [G]lot a [A]da da [D]da [G] [D] [G] [A] [D]

[verse 3]
[D]I played them all the [G]old songs, I [D]thought that’s why they [G]came.
[D]No one heard the music. [G]We didn’t [A]look the [D]same.
[D]I said hello to [G]‘Mary Lou’, [D]she belongs to [G]me.
When I [D]sang a [A]song about a [D]honky tonk, [G]it was [A]time to [D]leave.

[chorus]
[D]But it’s [G]all [A]right [D]now. I [G]learned my [A]lesson [D]well.

[G]Lot [A]da [D]da, [G]lot a [A]da da [D]da [G] [D] [G] [A] [D]

[Closing]
[D]Someone opened up the [G]closet door and [D]out stepped Johnny B [G]Goode,
[D]Playing guitar like a ringin’ a bell and [G]lookin’ [A]like he [D]should.
[D]If you gotta play at garden [G]parties, I [D]wish you a lot of [G]luck
But if [D]memo[A]ries are [D]all I sang, [G]I’d rather [A]drive a [D]truck.

[chorus]
[D]But it’s [G]all [A]right [D]now. I [G]learned my [A]lesson [D]well.

[G]Lot [A]da [D]da, [G]lot a [A]da da [D]da [G] [D] [G] [A] [D]

[chorus]
[D]But it’s [G]all [A]right [D]now. I [G]learned my [A]lesson [D]well.
