[Verse 1]
Deep [G]down
Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among
the evergreens
[C]There 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'd [G]play the guitar
just [C]like a [Gm]ringing a bell
[G]Go go,

[Verse 2]
[Gm]go Johnn[G]y go[Gm]
[G]Go, [Gm]go Johnny go
[C]Go, go Johnny go
[Gm]Go, [G]go J[Gm]ohnn[G]y go[Gm]
Go [Dm]go, J[D]ohnny B. Goode
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
He used to carry his guitar
in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
[C]The engineerswould see him
sitting in the shade
[G]Strumming with the rhythm
[C]that [G]the drivers made
[D]People passing by they
would stop an[Dm]d say
Oh [G]my that little country boy could play

[Verse 4]
Go [G]go, [Gm]go Johnny go
[G]Go, go [Gm]Johnny go
[C]Go, go Johnny go
[F]Go,[Gm] go J[G]ohnny go[Dm]
[G]Go [D]go,[G] Joh[D]nny[G] B.[D] Goode[G]

[Verse 5]
His [G]mother told him "Someday
you will [Gm]be a ma[G]n
And you will be the leader
of a big old band
[C]Many people coming from miles around
To [G]hear you play your music
when the sun go [D]down[G]
[D]Maybe someday your name
will be in lights
Saying [G]Johnny B. Goode tonight."

[Verse 6]
