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

BASS TIPS: [A](*4*) // [D](*2*) [A](*2*) // [E](*2*) [A](*2*)

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

CHORUS:
[A] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [D] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [A] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [E] Go
Johnny B [A] Goode

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
