[C]
[F] [C] I'll keep you in my heart
I'll [Gm] [Cm] [F] [Cm] keep [C] you in my heart
Deep down in Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
Back up in the woods of my D.L. Burgrees
[F] Still a long time in this earth and wood
[C] What in the country boy name Johnny B.
[G] Goode
Never learned to read or write so well
[C] He could play and get strong like a ring in a bell
I said go!
Go!
[F]
[C] [G] Go!
Johnny [C] B.
Goode
Marry he's a jar and a gun he's fat
Stick beneath the tree, rub a [F] railroad track
Engine there was dead
Sitting in the shade [C] Driver's [G] mate
People passing by they would stop and say
[C] Oh my that little country boy
I said go!
Go!

His mother told him someday you gonna be a big man
You'll be the leader of a big [F] old band
Many people coming from miles [C] around

Maybe someday your name will be [C] in license
Johnny B.
