Deep down in   Louisiana    close to  New  Orleans
-4'  -4   -3   +4 -3 -4'-3   +4   -3  -4   -3 +4 -4

Way back up  in the woods  among   the  evergreens
-4'  -4  -3  +4  -4  -3'   -2  +2   -1   -2 -1 -2

 There stood a log  cabin  made of  earth  and wood
...-4'  -4  -3 +4  -3' -2   +2  -1  -2 -1   +2  -2

Where lived  a  country boy  named  Johnny  B. Goode
-4'    -4   -3  +4 -4   -3'  +2 -1  -2 -1  +2   -2

Who never  ever learned to read or write so well
-4' -4 -3  +4-3  -4'    -3  +4 -3  -4'-3 +4 -4'

But he could  play   a  guitar  just like  a-ringin' a  bell
-2  -3  +4   -4'-4  -3  +4 -3'  -2   +2   -1 -2 -1  +2  -2

Go   go
-4'  -4'

Go   Johnny  Go  Go  Go
-4'  +4 -3  -4  -4'  -4'

Go   Johnny  Go  Go  Go
-4'  +4 -3  -4  -4'  -4' 

Go   Johnny  Go  Go  Go

Go   Johnny  Go Go  Go

Johnny  B  Goode
-4 +4  -3'  -2

He used  to   carry  his guitar in  a   gunny    sack
-4  -4'  -3   -4'-3  +4  -4 -3' -2 -1  -2 -1 +2   -2

Go  sit beneath the tree  by  the  railroad  track
-4' -4  -3  +4  -4   -3'  -2  -1   -2 -1 +2   -2

Oh, the  engineers would see him sitting in  the shade
    -4'  -4 -3 +4   -3   -4' -3   +4 -3  +4  -3   -4'

Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
..-4 -3    +4  -4  -3' -2  +2  -1  -2 -1   -2

When people passing  by   they would stop and say
-4'  -4 -3   +4 -3   -4'  -4'   -3   -4'  -3  -4

Oh  my but that little  country  boy  could play
-4' -4 -3  +4   -3' -2   +2 -1  -2 -1  +2   -2

Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
