Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
        C
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
        G
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
     D
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
                G
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell

      G
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
                  C
Go, go, Johnny, go
                  G
Go, go, Johnny, go
                 D
Go, go Johnny, go
                   G
Go, Johnny B. Goode

             G
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
        C
Oh, the engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
    G
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
 D
People passin' by they would stop and say
     G
Oh my, but that little country boy can play

      G
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
                  C
Go, go, Johnny, go
                  G
Go, go, Johnny, go
                 D
Go, go Johnny, go
                G
Go, Johnny B. Goode

      G
His mother told him: Some day you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big old band
 C
Many people comin' from miles around
    G
To hear you play your music 'till the Sun go down
  D
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
       G
Sayin` Johnny B. Goode tonight

      G
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
                  C
Go, go, Johnny, go
                  G
Go, go, Johnny, go
                 D
Go, go Johnny, go
                   G
Go, Johnny B. Goode
