As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1965 Album THE RETURN OF ROCK) [Intro] G C G C G D C G [Verse 1]
G
Well, deep down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans

G
'Back up in the woods among the evergreens

      C
There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood

      G
There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

    D                              C
Who never ever learned to read and write so well

             G
But he could play the guitar like the a-ringin' of a bell
[Chorus]
G
Oh go, go, Johnny, go

                C
Go, Johnny, go, go

                G
Go, Johnny, go, go

Go, Johnny, go, go

C                G
Oh-oh, Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah, he used to carry guitar in a gunny sack

G
Sittin' 'neath the trees by the railroad track

      C
Y'old engineer would blow it on every day

G
Listen to the rhythm that the drivers made

D                            C
People passin' by they would stop and say

   G
Oh my, that little country boy could play
[Chorus]
G
Go, go, Johnny, go

                C
Go, Johnny, go, go

G
Well his mama told him a-someday, son, you gonna be a man

G
A-say you're gonna be the leader of a big ol' band

C
Many people coming from miles around

   G
To hear you play your music when the sun go down

D                               C
Maybe someday your name will in light

        G
Saying "Johnny B. Goode, tonight"

Go, Johnny, go, go
