[Verse 1]
Deep [A]down in Louisiana
close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
among the evergreens
There [D]stood a log cabin
made of earth and wood
Where [A]lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode
Who [E]never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could [A]play the guitar
just like ringing a bell

[Chorus 1]
Go, [A]go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, [D]go
Go, Johnny, go, [A]go
Go, Johnny, go, [E]go
Johnny B. [A]Goode

[Verse 2]
He used to [A]carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the [D]engineers would see him
sitting in the shade
[A]Strumming with the rhythm
that the drivers made
The [E]people passing by
they would stop and say
"Oh [A]my what that little
country boy could play"

[Chorus 2]
Go [A]go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, [D]go
Go, Johnny, go, [A]go
Go, Johnny, go, [E]go
Johnny B. [A]Goode

[Verse 3]
His [A]mother told him
someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
of a big old band
[D]Many people coming
from miles around
To [A]hear you play your music
when the sun go down
[E]Maybe someday
your name will be in lights
Saying [A]"Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go, go

[Chorus 3]
[A]Go, Johnny, go
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
Go, go, [D]go, Johnny, go
Go, go, [A]go, Johnny, go
[E]Go
Johnny B. [A]Goode
