Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
Bbsus4 Bb
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
D#
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
F F7 F
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell.
Bb
Go, go!
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
D#
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
F
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Bbsus4 Bb
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
D#
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
F F7 F
The people passing by they would stop and say
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
"Oh my, what that little country boy could play"
Bb
Go, go!
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
D#
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
F
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
His mother told him "someday you will be a man,
Bbsus4 Bb
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
D#
Many people coming from miles around
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
To hear you play your music when the sun go down.
F F7 F
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight".
Bb
Go, go!
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
D#
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
F
Go, Johnny, go! Go,
Bb
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
