Johnny B. Goode chords
Chuck Berry (1955)
Capo I
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Asus4 A
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
D
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
A Asus4 A
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
E E7* E
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
A Asus4 A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
[Chorus]
A
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
D
Go
Go Johnny go
A

Go Johnny go
E E7

Johnny B. Goode
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Asus4 A
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
D
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
A Asus4 A
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
E E7 E
People passing by they would stop and say
A Asus4 A
Oh my that little country boy could play
[Chorus]
A
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
D
Go
Go Johnny go
A

Go Johnny go

[Verse]
A Asus4 A
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
Asus4 A
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
D
Many people coming from miles around
A Asus4 A
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
E E7 E
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
A Asus4 A
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
[Chorus]
A
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
