---Verse 1---
Deep [Bb]down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
[Bb]Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There [Eb]stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where [Bb]lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who [F]never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could [Bb]play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
---Chorus 1---
Go! [Bb]Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, go! [Eb]Go!
Go, Johnny, go!
[Bb]Go! Go, Johnny, go!
[F]Go! Johnny B. [Bb]Goode

---Verse 2---
He us[Bb]ed to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
[Bb]Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh the en[Eb]gineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Strumm[Bb]in' with the rhythm that the drivers made
The [F]people passing by they would stop and say
'Oh [Bb]my but that little country boy could play'
---Verse 3---
His [Bb]mother told him 'someday you will be a man
And [Bb]you will be the leader of a big old band
[Eb]Many people coming from miles around
To [Bb]hear you play your music when the sun go down
May[F]be someday your name will be in lights
Sayin' '[Bb]Johnny B. Goode tonight''
---Chorus 2---
Go! Go! [Bb]Go, Johnny, go!
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go!
Go! Go! [Eb]Go, Johnny, go!
Go! Go! [Bb]Go, Johnny, go!
[F]Go! Johnny B. [Bb]Goode
