C C
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
C C
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
F F
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
C C
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B B. Goode
G7 G7
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
C C
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell


C C
Go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
F F
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
G7 G7
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Johnny B B. Goode


C C
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
C C
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
F F
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
C C
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
G7 G7
The people passing by they would stop and say
C C
"Oh my what that little country boy could play"


C C
Go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
F F
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
G7 G7
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Johnny B B. Goode


C C
His mother told him "someday you will be a man
C C
And you will be the leader of a big old band
F F
Many people coming from miles around
C C
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
G7 G7
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
C C
Saying "Johnny B B. Goode tonight"


C C
Go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
F F
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Go Johnny, go, go
G7 G7
Go Johnny, go, go
C C
Johnny B B. Goode
