[INTRO]

A                            *A-A
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
                                   *A-A
Way back up in the woods among the ever  greens
      D                      *D-D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
      A                         *A-A
Where lived a country-boy named Johnny B. Goode
    E                             E7       E
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
             A                           *A-A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

A                                  
Go go     Go Johnny go go     
             D 
Go Johnny go go
             A
Go Johnny go go
             E
Go Johnny go go
E7            A
    Johnny B. Goode

   A                             *A-A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
                               *A-A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
    D                                   *D-D
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
A                                  *A-A
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
E                            E7       E
People passing by they would stop and say
   A                      *A-A
Oh my that little country boy could play

A                                  
Go go     Go Johnny go go     
             D 
Go Johnny go go
             A
Go Johnny go go
             E
Go Johnny go go
E7            A
    Johnny B. Goode

    A                                 *A-A
His mother told him "Someday you will be a  man,
                                *A-A
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
D                       *D-D
Many people coming from miles around
   A                                 *A-A
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
E                            E7    E
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
       A        
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."

A                                  
Go go     Go Johnny go go go     
                D 
Go Johnny go go go
                A
Go Johnny go go go
                E
Go Johnny go go go
E7            A
    Johnny B. Goode
