[A] [D] [A] [B]
[B] [E]
[D] [A]
Deep down in Louisiana told me you owe me
The first birdie ever
[D] Bet you say, oh, tell me, man, I've heard it [A] before
She's a country boy named Johnny
[E] He never learned to read or write so [A] well
But he played the guitar and he liked to sing in the bell
So go, go Johnny, go, go
Go [D] Johnny, go, go
Go [A] Johnny, go, go
Go [E] Johnny, go, go
Go [A] Johnny, go, go
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Toss it up in the trees by the railroad
The engineer's dancing [D] in the shade
[A] Strumming through the reel and then the tracks, [E] man
People passing by started [A] to say
I have a doubt in this country boy
So go,
[D] go Johnny, go, [A]

[E] Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go

[D] I'm [A]

told someday you'll be a man
You will be the leader of the big old [D] band
And people coming from miles [A] around
He'll play the music when the sun goes [E] down
Maybe someday we will be in [A] line
Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, [D] go, go
Go Johnny, [A] go, go
