[Verse 1]
[G]Johnny B. [D]& T[C]he[D][G]
[D]Evergreens[C]
[G]
Deep down in Louisiana
close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
among the evergreens
There [C]stood a log cabin
made of earth and wood
Where [G]lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode
Who'd [D]ever,
ever learn to read or write so well
But he could [G]play a guitar
just like a ringin' a bell
Go, go, go Johnny, go, [C]go[G][Em]
[G]Go, Johnny, go, go[C]
Go, Johnny, [D]go, [G]go
Go, Johnny, [D]go, go
Johnny [Em]B. Go[G]ode
He used to carry his guitar
[Em]in a g[G]unny sack
Or sit beneath a tree by the railroad track
Oh, the [C]engine and the flames
flittin' in the shade
Strum[G]min' [C]with the [G]rhythm
that the drivers made
[D]The people passin' by,
they were stoppin' to say
Oh, [G]my, was that a little
country boy to play
Go, go
Go, [Em]Johnny, [G]go
[Em]Go[G]
Go, Johnny, go
[C]Go
Go, Johnny, go
[G]Go
Go, Johnny, go
[D]Go
Johnny [Em]B. Goode

[Verse 2]
His [G]mother told him someday
you will be a man
And you will be the leader
of a big ol' band
[C]Many people comin' from miles around
To [G]hear you play your music
when the sun go down
May[D]be some day your
name will be in light
Say[G]ing, Johnny, be good tonight
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
Go, go, [C]go, Johnny, go
Go, go, [G]go, Johnny, go
[D]Go Johnny, [Em]be good
[G]
