She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust

And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus

Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West

A
Down came the tears from her happiness

Her own  little  son  name 'o Johnny B. Goode

Was gonna  make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

[Verse 1]
      A
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop

A
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop

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

A
Keep him out of trouble he was satisfied

    E
But never thought that there would come a day like this

               A
When she would have to give her boy a goodbye kiss
[Chorus]
A
Bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye bye Johnny

    A
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of

A
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love

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

    A
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track

    E
And every time they heard the locomotive roar

            A
They'd be a-standin', a-wavin' by the kitchen door
[Out-Chorus]

Bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye

E
Bye bye Johnny

D                  A
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
