Johnny B. Goode

[Intro] A  D  A  E  D  A  E

A
Deep down in louisiana close to new 
orleans

Way back up in the woods among the 
evergreens
D
There stand a country cabin made of 
clay and wood
A
Where lives a young country boy 
named Johnny B. Goode
   E                            
He never ever learned to read or 
 D
write a book so well
             A                   
But he could play his guitar just 
          E
like a-ringing a bell

   A
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
                D
Go Johnny go go go!
                A
Go Johnny go go go!
                E
Go Johnny go go go!
D         A
Johnny B. Goode!

     A
He used to carry his guitar  In a 
gunny sack

Sit beneath the trees by the 
railroad track
   D
Oh sitting and a-playing in the 
shade
A
Drumming to the rhythm that the 
drivers made
E                         D
People passing by used to stop and 
say
A                      E
My oh my, that country boy can play

   A
Go go, go johnny go go go!
                D
Go johnny go go go!
                A
Go johnny go go go!
                E
Go johnny go go go!
           A

A
Well his mama told him: "Someday you
 will be a man."

And you will be the leader ff a big 
old band
D
Many people coming from miles around
A
To hear you play music till the sun 
goes down
E                             D
Maybe some day your name will be in 
light, saying
A
