[G] I'll give you some Johnny, you'll be good.
Alright.
[Gm]
He's [Bbm]
down [Bbm] [Cm]
[Bb] [Gm]
in Louisiana close to New [Bb] Orleans.
Well, back up in the woods, that might be [Eb] Evergreen.
Stood alone, cabin in the earth and water.
[Bb] Well, there's a country boy named Johnny B.
Good.
[F]
Never learned to write or write so well.
[Bb] He could play the guitar [Eb] like a [Bb] regular fellow.

Good.
He carried a guitar in a gunny sack.
Put it beneath a tree by the railroad track.
[Eb] All the Indians, they would see him sitting in the [Bb] shade.
Strumming with the rhythm like a [F] driver's mate.
He'd go past the mile, they would stop and [Bb] say,
Oh my, that little country boy just went,
Go, go, go, [Eb] [Bb] go, [Eb]
