1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
F# F#sus4F#
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
H
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
F# F#sus4 F#
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
C# C#7* C#
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
F# F#sus4 F#
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

2. He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
F# F#sus4 F#
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
H
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
F# F#sus4 F#
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
C# C#7 C#
People passing by they would stop and say
F# F#sus4 F#
Oh my that little country boy could play
F#
R: Go go
Go Johnny go

3. His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
F# F#sus4 F#
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
H
Many people coming from miles around
F# F#sus4 F#
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
C# C#7 C#
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
F# F#sus4 F#
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
