[Verse]
Bb
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Eb
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Bb
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
F
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
Bb
But he could play the guitar just a like ringin' a bell.
[Chorus]
Go! Go! go, Johnny, go, go!
Go! Johnny, go, go!
Go! Johnny, go, go!
Go! Johnny, go, go!
Johnny B. Goode
[Verse]
Bb
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Eb
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Bb
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
F
The people passin' by they would stop and say:
Bb
"Oh my, but that little country boy could play."
[Chorus]
Bb
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Eb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
F Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
