Introdução: A D A F#7 E7 A E7 A Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, 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 A D Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode A He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack 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' A D Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode Interlude: A D A F#7 E7 A E7 A His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man 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 Syin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'' A D Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
