[INTRO] 
A      E   D   A
 
 A
Deep down in Louisianna
 
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 write a book so well
               A
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!
               A
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
 
 
            A
He used to carry his guitar
 
In a gunny sack
 
Sit beneath the trees
 
By the railroad track
    S
Oh sitting and a-playing
 
In the shade
  A
Drumming to the rhythm
 
That the drivers made
 E
People passing by
 
Used to stop and say
A
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
Aah Johnny B. Goode!

          A
Well his mama told him
 
Someday you will be a man
 
And you will be the leader
 
Of a big old band
 D
Many people coming
 
From miles around
    A
To hear you play your music
 
Till the sun goes down
 E
Maybe some day
 
Your name will be in light
        A
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!
 
 
     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
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
