JOHNNY B. GOODE
Written by Chuck Berry
INTRO: A E D A
A
Deep down in Louisianna
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
D
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood
A
Where lives a young country boy
Named Johnny B. Goode
E
He never ever learned
To read or write a book so well
A
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell
A
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
D
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Go Johnny go go go!
E
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
A
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track
S
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade
A
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made
E
People passing by
Used to stop and say
A
My oh my
That country boy can play
A
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
D
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Go Johnny go go go!
E
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
GUITAR SOLO: A D A D A E A E X2
A
Well his mama told him
Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
D
Many people coming
From miles around
A
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down
E
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light
A
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!
A
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
D
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Go Johnny go go go!
E
Go Johnny go go go!
A
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
