Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

Originally in Bb, I play in E capo 3

Intro

EEAEBAE

Deep Edown in Louisiana, close to New Orleans

Way bEack up in the woods among the evergreens

There Astood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where Elived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Who Bnever ever learned to read or write so well

But he could Eplay a guitar just like a ringin’ a bell

He used to cEarry his guitar in a gunny sack

Go sEit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Old enAgineers would see him sittin’ in the shade

SEtrummin’ with the rhythm that the drivers made

When Bpeople passed him by they would stop and say

Oh, mEy but that little country boy could play

Solo

Solo on verse chords, with hard stops

EEAEBEx2

His mEother told him, someday you will be a man

And Eyou will be the leader of a big ol’ band

MAany people comin’ from miles around

Will hEear you play your music when the sun go down

MaybBe someday your name’ll be in lights

Sayin’ JoEhnny B. Goode tonight
