1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
D# D#sus4D#
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
G#
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
D# D#sus4 D#
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Bb Bb7* Bb
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
D# D#sus4 D#
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

2. He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
D# D#sus4 D#
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
G#
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
D# D#sus4 D#
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
Bb Bb7 Bb
People passing by they would stop and say
D# D#sus4 D#
Oh my that little country boy could play
D#
R: Go go
Go Johnny go
Go

3. His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
D# D#sus4 D#
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
G#
Many people coming from miles around
D# D#sus4 D#
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Bb Bb7 Bb
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
D# D#sus4 D#
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
