B7
Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

B7
Back up in the woods among the evergreens

E7
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

      B7
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode

    F#7
Who never ever learned to read or write so well

             B7
But he could play a guitar just like ringin' a bell
[Chorus]
B7
Go go

B7
Go Johnny go go

Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 2]
B7
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

B7
Sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

E7
Oh, sit beneath the trees there in the shade

B7
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made

F#7
People passing by, they would stop and say

     B7
Oh my   but that little country boy can play
[Chorus]
B7
Go go

B7
Go Johnny go go go

                  E7

Oh, Johnny B. Goode

Go, Johnny B. Goode

B7
Go, come on Johnny, do it

B7
His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man

B7
And you will be the leader of a rock and roll band

E7
Many people comin' from miles around

   B7
To hear you play your guitar when the sun go down

F#7
Maybe someday your name will be in lights

           B7
Sayin' John-ny B. Goode tonight
[Out-Chorus]
