Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Deep down in Louisianna

Close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods

Among the evergreens

 There stand a country cabin

Made of clay and wood

 Where lives a young country boy

Named Johnny B. Goode

 He never ever learned

To read or write a book so well

 But he could play his guitar

Just like a-ringing a bell

 Go go, go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Aah Johnny B. Goode!

 He used to carry his guitar

In a gunny sack

Sit beneath the trees

By the railroad track

S

Oh sitting and a-playing

In the shade

 Drumming to the rhythm

That the drivers made

 People passing by

Used to stop and say

My oh my

That country boy can play

 Go go, go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Aah Johnny B. Goode!

Guitar solo

 Well his mama told him

Someday you will be a man

And you will be the leader

Of a big old band

 Many people coming

From miles around

 To hear you play your music

Till the sun goes down

 Maybe some day

Your name will be in light

 Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!

 Go go, go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Go Johnny go go go!

 Aah Johnny B. Goode!
