[Verse]
C
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
C
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
F
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
C
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
G F
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
C
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin a bell
[Chorus]
C
Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go
F
Go go Johnny go
C
Go Go Johnny go
G F C
Go Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 2]
C
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
C
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
F
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
C
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
G F
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
C
My my but that little country boy could play'
[Chorus 2]
C
Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go
F
Go go Johnny go
C
Go Go Johnny go

Go Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him'someday you will be a man,
C
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.

Many people comin' from miles around
C
To hear you play your guitar when the sun go down.

Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,

Sayin Johnny B. Goode tonight
[Chorus 3]

Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go
