VERSE 1:
[B] Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There
[E] stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where
[B] lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Who
[F#] never ever learned to read or write so well
But he
[B] could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
CHORUS:
[B] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go,
[E] Go
Go, Johnny, Go,
[B] Go
Go, Johnny, Go,
[F#] Go
Johnny B
[B] Goode
VERSE 2:
[B] He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old
[E] engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
[B] Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
When
[F#] people passed him by they would stop and say
Oh,
[B] my but that little country boy could play
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 3:
[B] His mother told him, someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big ol' band
Many
[E] people coming from miles around
Will
[B] hear you play your music when the sun go down
[F#] Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying
[B] Johnny B Goode tonight
REPEAT CHORUS:
