Johnny B. Goode
Tom: A 
 A
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, 
A
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
      D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
      A
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    E
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
             A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
Chorus:
A 
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                  D
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
A
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
A                   E
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode 

     A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
     A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
      D
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
     A
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
    E
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
     A
'Oh, my but that little country boy could play'
**Chorus
     A
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
     A 
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
      D
Many people comin' from miles around
     A
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down.
    E
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,
     A
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''
**Chorus

Maybellene
Tom: A
Intro:  A 
Chorus:
    A
Maybellene, why can't you be true
          D7                     A
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
       E7                     D7                 A       
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
      A
As I was motivatin' over the hill
      A
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
      A
Cadillac rollin' on the open road
      A
Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford
      A
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
      A
Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side
**Chorus
      A
Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford
      A
The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more
      A
It soon got cloudy and it started to rain
      A
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
      A
Rain was pourin' under my hood
      A
I knew that was doin' my motor good
**Chorus
Instrumental:  A  D7  A  E7  D7  A
**Chorus
      A
Motor cooled down, the heat went down
      A
That's when I heard that highway sound
      A
The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead
      A
110 half a mile ahead
      A
The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still
      A
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
**Chorus

Nadine

I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat, 
A
Thought I saw my future bride walking up the street,

I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down.

**Chorus
A
Downtown searching for her, looking all around. Saw her getting in a yellow
                         B9
cab heading up town. I caught  a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab. With a
     A
twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab.'
**Chorus
A
She move around like a wave of summer breeze, go, driver, go, go, catch her
                         B9
balmy breeze. Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier. Leaning out
     A
the taxi window trying to make her hear.

No Particular Place To Go
Tom: G 
Intro:  D+
   
                   G
Riding along in my automobile
                   G
My baby beside me at the wheel
                                C
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
                     G
My curiosity running wild
                         D
Cruisin' and playin' the radio
                            G
With no particular place to go
                   G
Riding along in my automobile
                   G
I's anxious to tell her the way I feel
                         C
So I told her softly and sincere
                                   G
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
                          D
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
                            G
With no particular place to go
Guitar Solo:  G, C, G, D, C, G  ( 12 Bars)
                       G
No particular place to go
                   G
So we parked way out on ko-ko-mo
                                     C
The night was young and the moon was gold
                             G
So we both decided to take a stroll
                         D
Can you image the way I felt
                               G
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
                   G
Riding along in my calaboose
                   G
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
                          C
All the way home I held a grudge
                                   G
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
                         D
Cruisin' and playing the radio
                            G
With no particular place to go

Rock 'N' Roll Music
Tom: A

 

A7
Just let me hear some of that...
Chorus:
D
Rock and roll music
D
Any old way you choose it
           G
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
D
Any old time you use it
     A7
It's gotta be rock and roll music
                        D
If you wanna dance with me
A7                      D
If you wanna dance with me
                       A
I have no kick against modern jazz
A7                          D
  Unless you try to play it too darn fast
                       G
I lose the beauty of a melody
                            A7
Until it sounds just like a symphony
                A7
That's why I go for that...
**Chorus
                       A
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks
A7                          D
So she could hear a man a-wailin' sax
                       G
I must admit they had a rockin' band
                            A7
And they were blowin' like a hurrican'
                A7
That's why I go for that...
**Chorus
                       A
Way down south they gave a jubilee
A7                          D
And Georgia folks, they had a jamboree
                       G
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
                            A7
The folks dancin' got all shook up
               A7
And started playin' that...
**Chorus
                       A
Don't get to hear 'em play a tango
A7                          D
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
                       G
It's way too early for the congo
                       A7
So keep on rockin' that piano
                A7
So I can hear some of that...
**Chorus

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.
E
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,

School Day
Tom: G
                            G
Up in the mornin' and off to school
                       G
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
                               C
American hist'ry and practical math
                                G
You're studyin' hard, hopin' to pass
                                       D
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
C7                                      G
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
                    G
Ring ring, goes the bell
                       G
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
                               C
You're lucky if you can find a seat
                                G
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
                              D
Back in the classroom, open your books
C7                                      G
Bet the teacher don't know how mean she looks
                       G
Soon as 3:00 rolls around
                       G
You finally lay your burden down
                               C
Close up your books, get out of your seat
                                G
Down the halls and into the street
                                 D
Up through the corner and round the bend
C7                          G
Right to the juke joint you go in
                       G
Drop the coin right into the slot
                       G
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                               C
With the one you love you're makin' romance
                                G
All day long you've been wantin' to dance
                               D
Feelin' the music from head to toe
C7                        G
Round and round and round you go
Instrumental:  G   G   C   G   D   C7   G
                       G
Drop the coin right into the slot
                       G
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                               C
With the one you love you're makin' romance
                                G
All day long you've been wantin' to dance
                               D
Feelin' the music from head to toe
C7                        G
Round and round and round you go
                       G
Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll!
                       G
Deliver me from the days of old
                   C
Long live rock 'n' roll
                                G
The beat of the drums loud and bold
                  D
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll
C7                            G
The feelin' is there, body and soul
Sweet Little 16
Tom: G
Chorus 1:
                          G       G7             C
They're really rockin' in Boston,   Pittsburgh, PA
                     G     G7                     C
Deep in the heart of Texas   and round the Frisco Bay
             F                        C
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans
                   G          G7              C
All the cats wanna dance with   Sweet Little 16
                  G       G7             C
Sweet Little 16, she's just got to have
             G     G7              C
About a half a million framed autographs
                            F                           C
Her wallet's filled with pictures; she gets them one by one
                   G          G7              C
Becomes so excited; won't you look at her run, boy?
Bridge:
           F                   C
"Oh Mommy, Mommy, please may I go?
                     G    G7
It's such a sight to see;   somebody steal the show
          F            C
Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg you
           G     G7
Whisper to Mommy   it's all right with you"
Chorus 2:
                      G                G7                 C
'Cause they'll be rockin' on the bandstand Philadelphia, PA
                     G     G7              C
Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay
             F                        C
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans

                     G       G7             C
Sweet Little 16, she's got the grownup blues
                              G          G7              C
Tight dresses and lipstick, she's sportin' high-heeled shoes
                       F                              C
Oh, but tomorrow mornin', she'll have to change her trend
            G          G7            C
And be sweet 16 and back in class again
Chorus 1:
                          G       G7             C
But they'll be rockin' in Boston,   Pittsburgh, PA
