Original key = C
C She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus F Leaving Louisiana for the golden west C Down came the tears from her happiness G Her own little son named Johnny B Goode C Was going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood
CFC Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye GFC Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
C She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop F As long as he would play it by the railroad side C He wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied G But never thought there'd ever come a day like this C When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
CFC Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye GFC Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
[GUITAR SOLO]
C She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love F As soon as he was married he would bring her back C And build a mansion for them by the railroad track G So every time they heard the locomotive roar C They'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door
CFC Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye GFC Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
