Key: A Intro: A D A E D A E Verse: A Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans A 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 Johnny B. Goode E D Who never ever learned to read or write so well A But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin a bell
Chorus: A Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go D Go Johnny go go A E D Go Johnny go go A E Johnny B. Goode Verse 2: A He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack A Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track D Oh the engineers would see him sitting in the shade A Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made E D The people passing by they would stop and say A Oh my what that little country boy could play Chorus 2: A Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go D Go Johnny go go A E D Go Johnny go go A E Johnny B. Goode Solo: A D A E D A E Verse 3: A His mother told him someday you will be a man A 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 goes down E D Maybe someday your name will be in lights A Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight Chorus 3: A Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go D Go Johnny go go A E D Go Johnny go go A Johnny B. Goode
