[G] He came down to Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreen
[C] Dirtied all the cabins
Made of ebony wood
[G] Helped a mother hump a call
Johnny B.
Goode
[D] Thought his love would learn [G] to read and write so well
Let it over get taught
Just like the ringing of a bell
I said go
Yeah Johnny go
I said go
Oh Johnny [C] go
I said go
Oh Johnny [G] go
I said go
Oh Johnny go
I said [D] go
[C] Oh boy you better be [G] good tonight
He carried his guitar
In a gunny sack
Set down in the trees by a railroad track
[C] Old engines they were broken
With no leather say
[G] They let me do the rhythm of the tribal may
[D] People passing by
He used to stop [C] and say
[G] Hey little mother
He said go now
Oh Johnny go
I said go

[D] Oh [C] you better [G] be good tonight
Mama [C] [G]

[G] [D] [C]
[G] said son
You just might stay a man's house
There's a piece of leisure
Around the big old [C] sand
And there's people coming all [G] around
To hear you play your music
While the sun goes down
[D] And if [C] someday your name will be in [G] the flag
Then Johnny be good and bring the money Home tonight
Oh Johnny go
