^{Key: :[Bb] (w: Chuck Berry)}

BASS TIPS: [Bb](*4*) // [Eb](*2*) [Bb](*2*) // [F](*2*) [Bb](*2*)

VERSE 1:
[Bb] Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There [Eb] stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where [Bb] lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Who [F] never ever learned to read or write so well
But he [Bb] could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell

CHORUS:
[Bb] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Eb] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Bb] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [F] Go
Johnny B [Bb] Goode

VERSE 2:
[Bb] He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old [Eb] engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
[Bb] Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
When [F] people passed him by they would stop and say
Oh, [Bb] my but that little country boy could play

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE 3:
[Bb] His mother told him, someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big ol' band
Many [Eb] people coming from miles around
Will [Bb] hear you play your music when the sun go down
[F] Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying [Bb] Johnny B Goode tonight

REPEAT CHORUS:
