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

BASS TIPS: [C](*4*) // [F](*2*) [C](*2*) // [G](*2*) [C](*2*)

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

CHORUS:
[C] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [F] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [C] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [G] Go
Johnny B [C] Goode

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
