1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
G# G#sus4G#
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
C#
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
G# G#sus4 G#
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
D# D#7* D#
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
G# G#sus4 G#
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
G#
R: Go go
Go Johnny go

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

C#

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