[Verse 1]
G
Well, deep down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
G
'Back up in the woods among the evergreens
      C
There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood
      G
There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    D                              C
Who never ever learned to read and write so well
             G
But he could play the guitar like the a-ringin' of a bell
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Oh go, go, Johnny, go
                C
Go, Johnny, go, go
                G
Go, Johnny, go, go
                D
Go, Johnny, go, go
C                G
Oh-oh, Johnny B. Goode
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah, he used to carry guitar in a gunny sack
G
Sittin' 'neath the trees by the railroad track
      C
Y'old engineer would blow it on every day
G
Listen to the rhythm that the drivers made
D                            C
People passin' by they would stop and say
   G
Oh my, that little country boy could play
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Go, go, Johnny, go
                C
Go, Johnny, go, go
                G
Go, Johnny, go, go
                D
Go, Johnny, go, go
C                G
Oh-oh, Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 3]
G
Well his mama told him a-someday, son, you gonna be a man
G
A-say you're gonna be the leader of a big ol' band
C
Many people coming from miles around
   G
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
D                               C
Maybe someday your name will in light
        G
Saying "Johnny B. Goode, tonight"
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
G
Oh go, Johnny, go
                C
Go, Johnny, go, go
                G
Go, Johnny, go, go
                D
Go, Johnny, go, go
C                  G
Oh-oh, Johnny B. Goode
