| I | went to a garden | party to remin | isce with my old | friends |
| C | G | Am | F | G7 | C |
| A | chance to share | old | memories | and play our old | songs | again |
| F | C | F |
| When I got to the garden | party, | they all knew my | name |
| C | F | Dm7 | G7 | C |
| But | no one recog | nised | me, I didn't | look the | same |
| F | G | C | F | G | C |
| But it's | all | right | now, I | learned my | lesson | well |
| F | C | Dm7 | G7 | C |
| You see you | can't please | everyone, so you've | got to | please your | self |
| People came from miles around, everyone was there | |
| Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air | |
| And over in the corner, much to my surprise | |
| Mr Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes, wearing his disguise | |
| I played them all the old songs, I 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 | |
| When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave | |
| Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B Goode | |
| Playing guitar like a ring and a bell and looking like he should | |
| If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck | |
| But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck | |

| | .. | La, | la, | la..... | la | la | la | la | la | la |
