[Verso 1]


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

[Verso 2]


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

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