Johnny B. Goode
Chuck Berry

INTRO

Bb
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Bb
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
      Eb
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
      Bb
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    F
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
       Bb
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell

Bb
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              Eb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Eb              Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              F   Eb            Bb  Eb  E  F
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go! Johnny C. Goode 

Bb
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Bb
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
      Eb
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Bb
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
F
When people passed him by they would stop and say
     Bb
'Oh, my but that little country boy could play

Bb
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              Eb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Eb              Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              F   Eb            Bb  Eb  E  F
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go! Johnny C. Goode 

BREAK ON INTRO TO VERSE

Bb
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man
Bb
You will be the leader of a big ol' band
Eb
Many people comin' from miles around
   Bb
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
   F
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights
        Bb
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'

Bb
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              Eb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Eb              Bb
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Bb              F   Eb            Bb  Eb  E  F
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go! Johnny C. Goode
