[Verse 1]
    A
Way down in Louisiana, down to New Orleans,
 
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens.
      D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
      A
Where lived a country boy named a Johnny B Good.
   E
Who never ever learned to read and write so well,
             A
He could play the guitar just like he's ringin' a bell.
 
 
[Chorus]
     A
Go, go.
 
Go, Johnny go, go.
                D
Go, Johnny go, go, go.
                A
Go, Johnny go, go.
                E
Go, Johnny go, go, go.
           A
Johnny B Good.
 
 
[Verse 2]
           A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
 
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
      D
Oh, engineers would see him sitting in the shade
A
Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made.
E
People passing by they would stop and say:
      A
"Oh, my how that little country boy could play."
 
 
[Chorus]
     A
Go, go.
 
Go, Johnny go, go.
                D
Go, Johnny go, go.
                A
Go, Johnny go, go.
                E
Go, Johnny go, go.
           A
Johnny B Good.

[Verse 3]
    A
His mama told him: "Someday you will be a man,
 
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
  D
Many people coming from miles around
   A
To hear you play your music when the sun go down.
  E
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
       A
Sayin' Johnny B Good tonight."
 
 
[Chorus]
         A
Go, go, go,
 
Johnny, go.
 
Go, go, go, Johnny go.
         D
Oh, go, go, Johnny go.
         A
Oh, go, go, Johnny, go.
