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

BASS TIPS: [Db](*4*) // [Gb](*2*) [Db](*2*) // [G#](*2*) [Db](*2*)

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

CHORUS:
[Db] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Gb] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Db] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [G#] Go
Johnny B [Db] Goode

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
