[Verse]

     
Deep down Loui

siana close to

 New Orleans
    
Way back up in

 the woods amo

ng the evergre

ens
      
There stood a 

log cabin made

 of earth and 

wood
      
Where lived a 

country boy na

med Johnny B. 

Goode
             
Who never ever

              
 learned to re

      
ad or write so

 well
             
But he could p


lay the guitar

 just like a r

inging a bell


[Chorus]

    
Go, Go

Go Johnny go, 

go
            
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 

  
go
          
Johnny B. Good

[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

    
Go, Go

Go Johnny go, 

go
            
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 

  
go

[Solo]


[Verse]

His mother 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 when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying “Johnny B. Goode tonight."


[Chorus]

    
Go, Go

Go Johnny go, 

go
            
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 


go
              
Go Johnny go, 

  
go
          
Johnny B. Good

I've heard this song in two different keys but and they both sounded great
but i chose to work out this one cause its an easy reach on the fret board
I hope you have fun playing Johnny B Goode and soon i'll 
post up the TABS for this song.
