1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
E Esus4 E
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
A
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
E Esus4 E
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
H H7* H
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
E Esus4 E
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

Go Johnny go

2. He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
E Esus4 E
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
A
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
E Esus4 E
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
H H7 H
People passing by they would stop and say
E Esus4 E
Oh my that little country boy could play
E
R: Go go
Go Johnny go

3. His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
E Esus4 E
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
A
Many people coming from miles around
E Esus4 E
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
H H7 H
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
E Esus4 E
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
