1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
C# C#sus4C#
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
F#
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
C# C#sus4 C#
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
G# G#7* G#
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
C# C#sus4 C#
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
C# C#sus4 C#
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
F#
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
C# C#sus4 C#
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
G# G#7 G#
People passing by they would stop and say
C# C#sus4 C#
Oh my that little country boy could play
C#
R: Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
F#

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