1st verse
(Bb)
Deep down in Louisiana 'cross from New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
(Eb)
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
(Bb)
where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
(F)
who never ever learned to read or write so well
(Bb)
but he could play the guitar just like ringin' a bell
Chorus
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy could play
Chorus
His mother told him someday you will be a man
and you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people comin' from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight
Chorus
