Introduction:
A
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
A
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
E
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
A E
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
D
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
A
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
E
When people passed him by they would stop and say
A
'Oh, my but that little country boy could play'
A E
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
A
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man
You will be the leader of a big ol' band
D
Many people comin' from miles around
A
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down
E
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights
A
Syin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''
A E
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
