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                             D
He never ever learned to read or write a book so well
             A                             E
But he could play his guitar just 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

     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
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
