As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1969 Album I LOVE YOU MORE) [Intro] A D A D A E7 D A [Verse 1]
A
Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans

A
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens

      D
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood

      A
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode

   E7
He never ever learned to read or write so well

         A
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
[Chorus]
A
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go

D                   A                   E7 D          A
Go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 2]
E          A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

    D
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade

A
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made

    E7
The people passin' by, they would stop and say

A
My, how that little country boy can play
[Chorus]
A
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go

D                   A                   E7 D          A
Go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
[Interlude] A D A [Guitar Solo] D A E D A [Verse 3]
A
Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man

A
You will be the leader of a country band

    D
The people gonna come from miles around

   A
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down

E7
Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights

        A
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
[Out-Chorus]
A
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go

D                   A                   E7 D          A
Go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
