Way back up in the woods among the ever greens

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
D Dsus4 D
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

2. He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
D Dsus4 D
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
G
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
D Dsus4 D
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
A A7 A
People passing by they would stop and say
D Dsus4 D
Oh my that little country boy could play

3. His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
D Dsus4 D
And you will be the leader of a big old band.

Many people coming from miles around
D Dsus4 D
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
A A7 A
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
D Dsus4 D
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
