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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
