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

BASS TIPS: [Ab](*4*) // [Db](*2*) [Ab](*2*) // [D#](*2*) [Ab](*2*)

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

CHORUS:
[Ab] Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Db] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [Ab] Go
Go, Johnny, Go, [D#] Go
Johnny B [Ab] Goode

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
