Intro: A  A
       D  A
       E7 A

     A
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
    A
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
      D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
      A
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    E7
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
             A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringinʼ a bell.

Chorus:
        A                   A
    Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                     D
    Go, Johnny, go! Go!
     
    Go, Johnny, go!
    A                   E7            A
    Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

           A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
   A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
    D
Old engineers would see him sittinʼ in the shade,
A
Strumminʼ with the rhythm that the drivers made.
     E7
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
     A
ʼoh, my but that little country boy could playʼ

Chorus:
        A                   A
    Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                     D
    Go, Johnny, go! Go!
     
    Go, Johnny, go!
    A                   E7            A
    Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

              E7 A

    A
His mother told him, someday you will be a man,
A
You will be the leader of a big olʼ band.
D
Many people cominʼ from miles around
     A
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down.
E7
Maybe someday your nameʼll be in lights,
      A
Sayin Johnny B. Goode tonight

Chorus:
        A                   A
    Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                     D

    A                   E7            A
    Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
