      A/A
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
      E
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    B7
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
             E
But he could play a guitar just like he's ringin' a bell

[Chorus]

Go

[Verse 2]
            E
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
            E
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad tracks

    A/A
The engineers would see him sittin' there in the shade
E
Strummin' to the rhythm that the engine made
      B7
People passed him by and they would stop and say
   E
Oh my that little country boy can play
