[Intro]
Ab


[Verse 1]
Ab
Deep down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Ab
Back up in the woods among the evergreens
      Db
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
      Ab
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B.Goode
   Eb
He never, ever learned to read or write, so well
             Ab
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell


[Chorus]
Ab
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Ab
Go Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go
            Db
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
            Ab
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
    Eb Db         Ab
Go, go, Johnny B. Goode


[Verse 2]
Eb         Ab
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Ab
Sit beside the tree by the railroad track
    Db
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Ab
Listen to the rhythm that the drivers made
Eb
People comin' by they would stop and say
    Ab
Oh, my but that little country boy could play


[Chorus]
Ab
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Ab
Go Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go
            Db
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
            Ab
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
    Eb Db         Ab     Eb
Go, go, Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 3]
    Ab
His mama told him someday you will be a man
Ab
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Db
Many people come from miles around
   Ab
To hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Eb
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Ab
A sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight


[Chorus]
Ab
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Ab
Go Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go
            Db
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
            Ab
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go
    Eb Db         Ab
Go, go, Johnny B. Goode
