[Verse 1]
Deep [G]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]never ever learned to
read or write so well
But he could [G]play a guitar
just like a ringing a bell

[Verse 2]
Go [G]go
Go Johnny go!
[C]Go[G]
Go Johnny go!

Go Johnny go!

Go
Johnny [G]B. Goode!

[Verse 3]
[G]
He used to carry his guitar
[Em]in a g[G]unny sack
Go sit beneath the tree
by the railroad track
Oh, the en[C]gineer would see him
sitting in the shade
[G]Strumming with the rhythm
that the drivers made
[D]The people passing by,
they would stop and say
Oh [G]my, but that little
country boy could play

[Verse 4]
Go [G]go
Go [Em]Johnny [G]go!
[Em]Go[G]
Go Johnny go!
[C]Go
Go Johnny go!
[G]Go
Go Johnny go!

[Verse 5]
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 coming from miles around
To [G]hear you play your music
when the sun go down
[D]Maybe someday your
name'll be in lights
Say[G]ing Johnny B. Goode tonight."

[Verse 6]
Go go [G]Go

Go go go Johnny go
Go go [C]go Johnny go
Go go [G]go Johnny go
