*****************************************************************************
riff A
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
riff A
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
riff B
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
riff A
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
riff C
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
riff A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
CHORUS:
riff D
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
riff D
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
riff D
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
riff D
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
riff A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
riff A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
riff B
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
riff A
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
riff C
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
riff A
'oh, my but that little country boy could play'
CHORUS
SOlO
riff A
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
riff A
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
riff B
Many people comin' from miles around
riff A
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down.
riff C
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,
riff A
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''
CHORUS
