A
Way 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 D
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
A E
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
[Chorus]
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
D
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
E D A E
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

A
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
A
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
D
Many people comin' from miles around
A
To hear you play your music when the sun go down.
E D
Maybe one day your name will be in lights,
A E
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'
[Chorus]
A
Go! Go! Go! Go, Johnny
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
D
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny
E D A A
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
