[Verse 1] 0:03
F         Bb               Bb7            Bb 
Well, she drew out all her money out from southern trust

    Bb7          Bb           Bb7        
And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus

Eb                        Eb7
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west

Bb        Bb7                 Bb
Down came tears from her happiness

    F                    F7        F 
Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode

          Bb               Bb7                  Bb
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
[Chorus] 0:22

[Verse 2] 0:39
         Bb              Bb7            Bb 
Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops

    Bb                          Bb7    Bb
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop

   Eb               Eb7            Eb 
As long as he could play it by the railroad side

    Bb              Bb7                   Bb 
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied

F                     F7          F 
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this

               Bb              Bb7   Bb      Bb7 
When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss

I said, Bye... bye, bye, bye

         Bb                             Bb7             
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of

Bb                               Bb7      
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love

   Eb             Eb7              Eb
As soon as he was married he would bring her back

    Bb7             Bb             Bb7
And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks

    F               F7            F
And every time they heard the locomotive roar

            Bb        Bb7           Bb      Bb7 
They'd be a standing, waving at the kitchen door

Bye bye Johnny,  Bye bye Johnny B Goode
