Song: Johnny B Goode
By:   Chuck Berry
[intro:] {guitar solo over verse chords} A D A E7 D A E7

[verse:1]
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
E7
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
A                                                           
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell.

[chorus:]
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
A                D
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                 A
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
                E7   D              A      E7
Go, Johnny, go! Go!       Johnny B. Goode

[verse:2]
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 sitting in the shade
A
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
E7
When people passed him by they would stop and say
A
oh my, but that little country boy could play

[chorus:]

[Solo:] {guitar solo over 2 X verse chords}

[verse:3]
A
His mother told him, someday you will be a man
A
You will be the leader of a big old band
D
Many people coming from miles around
A
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down
E7
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
A
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"

[chorus:] 
[chorus:]
[coda:]  Finish on A
