Chuck Berry - Jonny Be Goode

Intro:
A#7 D#7 A#7 F7 D#7 A#7 

A#7 
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
A#7 
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
D#7 
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
A# 
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
F7  
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
A#7 
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

Go go
Go Johnny go go
             D#7    
Go Johnny go go
             A#7   
Go Johnny go go
             F7 
Go Johnny go go
          A#7   
Johnny B. Goode

Solo:
A#7 D#7 A#7 D#7 A#7 F7 A#7 

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

His mother told him, someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight

A#7 
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
      D#7 
Go go go Johnny go
       A7 
Go go go Johnny go
F7 
Go
          A#7 
Johnny B. Goode
