Country Party Johnny Lee

[Intro]

D A G A D A G A

[Verse 1]

D G D G

I went to a country party, to reminisce with my old friends,

D A G Em G A D

A chance to share some memories and, play my songs again,

D G D G

When I got to the country party, they all knew my name,

D A G Em G A D

No one recognized me, I didn't look the same.

[Chorus]

D A G A D A G A

But it's, all right now, I've learned my lesson well,

D Em G A D

You see you, can't please everyone so you, got to please yourself.

[Verse 2]

D G D G

People came from miles around, everyone was there,

D A G Em G A D

Conway brought Loretta, Haggard brought Bobby Bear,

D G D G

And over in the corner, much to my surprise,

D A G Em G A D

Was Waylon, Willie, and Mickey Gilley, listening to Charlie Brown.

[Chorus]

D A G A D A G A

But it's, all right now, I've learned my lesson well,

D Em G A D

You see you, can't please everyone so you, got to please yourself.

[Verse 3]

D G D G

I played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came,

D A G Em G A D

No one heard the music, it didn't sound the same,

D G D G

Said hello, to Rambling Rose, she belonged to me,

D A G Em G A D

Sang a song about a Honky-Tonk and, it was time to leave.

[Chorus]

D A G A D A G A

But it's, all right now, I've learned my lesson well,

D Em G A D

You see you, can't please everyone so you, got to please yourself.

[Verse 4]

D G D G

Someone opened up the closet door, and out stepped Johnny Cash,

D A G Em G A D

Playing his guitar like a ring of fire, June was singing in the back, 'Jackson'

D G D G

If you gotta play a country party, I wish you a lot of luck,

D A G Em G A D

But if memory is a all I sing well, I'd rather drive a truck.

[Chorus]

D A G A D A G A

But it's, all right now, I've learned my lesson well,

D Em G A D

You see you, can't please everyone so you, got to please yourself.

Latindadada, Latindadada,

You see you, can't please everyone so you, got to please yourself.
