A combination of Chuck Berry/Rolling Stones/Status Quo versions Original key = C

C
She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust

And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus

   F
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west

C
Down came the tears from her happiness

    G
Her own little son named Johnny B Goode

             C
Was going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood

C                F           C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye

G               F                C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode

C
She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop

   F
As long as he would play it by the railroad side

   C
He wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied

    G
But never thought there'd ever come a day like this

               C
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss

C                F           C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye

G               F                C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode

[GUITAR SOLO]

C
She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of

Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love

   F
As soon as he was married he would bring her back

    C
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track

   G
So every time they heard the locomotive roar

          C
They'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door

C                F           C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye

G               F                C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
