Verse:

Bb

Deep down in Louisana 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 rythm that the drivers made

F

The people passin' by they would stop and say:

Bb

"Oh my, but that little country boy could play."
