A chance to share old memories and play our songs again.

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

but no one recog-nized me, I didn't look the same
Chorus:
DGADBmGAD
But it's, all right now. I learned my lesson well.
GADBmEm7AD
You see you, can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

People came from miles around. Everyone was there.

Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.
