Johnny B. Goode
Chuck Berry

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

[C] Go, Go! Go, Johnny Go Go Go!
Go, Johnny go, [F] go
Go, Johnny go go [C] go
Go [G] go [F] Johnny B [C] Goode

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

CHORUS

[C] His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
[C] You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
[F] Many people comin' from miles around
[C] Will hear you play your music when the sun goes down.
[G] Maybe someday your name'll be in lights.
Saying [C] 'Johnny B. Goode playing here tonight'.

CHORUS
