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

His mother [Bbm] told him someday you will be a man, and you will be the leader of a big old [Eb] band,
many people comin' from miles [Bb] around to hear you play your music when the sun go down.
[F] Maybe someday your name will be [Bb] in light sayin', Johnny B.
Goode tonight.
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, [Eb] go, [Fm] Johnny, go, [Eb] go, [Bb] go, Johnny, go, [F] go.
