Johnny B. Goode Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Way [G]down [C]in Louisiana,
across the New Orleans
Back up in the hills among
the evergreens
There [F]stood a log cabin
made of earth and wood
There [C]lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode
He [G]never ever learned to
read or write so well
But [C]he could play guitar
just like a ring and a bell
Well I go, go, go little Johnny, go, go
[F]little [C]Johnny, [F]go, go
little Johnny, [C]go, go
Johnny, Johnny, [G]go,
I said [F]go, Johnny, be [C]good[G]
He used to [C]carry his guitar
in his old knapsack
Sit beneath the tree
beside a railroad track
Now is[F]n't he a handsome cat
sittin' in the shade?
[C]Listen to the rhythm that
the driver's made
[G]People goin' by just stop and wave
But [C]oh, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go
Johnny, Johnny, go
Go, little Johnny, [F]go
Go, little Johnny, [C]go
Go, little Johnny, [G]go
I said [F]go, Johnny, baby,
[C]go[G][C][F][C][F]
[C][G][C][F][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C][F][C][G][F]
[C][G]
Now [C]mama told him someday
[F]he might [C]be a man
[F]He [C]could be a leader in a big ol' band
[F]Many people come from miles around
To [C]hear you play the guitar
when the sun goes
Maybe [G]someday your name will be in lines
May [C]Johnny be good tonight
Go, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, [F]Johnny, [C]go
[F]Go, [C]little Johnny, go[F]
Go, little Johnny, [C]go
Go, Johnny, Johnny, [G]go
I said [F]go, Johnny be [C]good you
