Version 1JOHNNY B. GOODE Written by Chuck Berry INTRO: A E D A A Deep down in Louisianna Close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods Among the evergreens D There stand a country cabin Made of clay and wood A Where lives a young country boy Named Johnny B. Goode E He never ever learned To read or write a book so well A But he could play his guitar Just like a-ringing a bell A Go go, go Johnny go go go! D Go Johnny go go go! A Go Johnny go go go! E Go Johnny go go go! A Aah Johnny B. Goode! A 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 A Drumming to the rhythm That the drivers made E People passing by Used to stop and say A My oh my That country boy can play A Go go, go Johnny go go go! D Go Johnny go go go! A Go Johnny go go go! E Go Johnny go go go! A Aah Johnny B. Goode! GUITAR SOLO: A D A D A E A E X2 A Well his mama told him Someday you will be a man 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 Till the sun goes down E Maybe some day Your name will be in light A Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight! A Go go, go Johnny go go go! D Go Johnny go go go! A Go Johnny go go go! E Go Johnny go go go! A Aah Johnny B. Goode!
