[Fm] [Cm] [Bb]
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, way back up in the woods among the [Eb] evergreen,
there stood a log cabin made of earth and [Bb] wood, where lived a country boy named Johnny B.
[F] Good,
who never ever learned to read or write so well, [Bbm] but he could play a guitar just like a ring and a bell.
Go, go, go Johnny, go, go, go Johnny, [Ab] go, [Eb] go, go Johnny, [Bb] go, go, go Johnny, [Fm] go, go, [Bb] go Johnny B.
Good.
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, [Bbm] close to beneath the tree by the railroad track,
[Eb] all engine, everything glistening in the shade, [Bb] strumming with the rhythm that the [F] drivers made.
When people passing by, they would stop and say, [Bb] oh my, what's that little country boy could play?
Go, go, go Johnny, go, go, go [Eb] Johnny, go, go, go Johnny, go, [Bb] go, go Johnny, [F] go, go, go [Bb] Johnny B.

[F] [Bb]
His mother told him someday you will be a man, and you will be the leader of a big old [Eb] band.
Many people coming from miles [Bb] around, to hear you play your music when the sun go [F] down.
Maybe someday your name will be in [Bb] light saying Johnny B.
Good, goodnight.
Go, go, go Johnny, go, go, go Johnny, go, [Eb] go, go [Ab] Johnny, go, [Eb] [Bb] go, go Johnny, go, go, go Johnny, go,
[F] go!
