Evergreens
E
Deep down in Louisiana
close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
among the evergreens
A
There stood a log cabin
made of earth and wood
E
Where lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode
B
Who'd ever,
ever learn to read or write so well
E
But he could play a guitar
just like a ringin' a bell

He used to carry his guitar

in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath a tree by the railroad track

Oh, the engine and the flames
flittin' in the shade

Strummin' with the rhythm

The people passin' by,
they were stoppin' to say

Oh, my, was that a little
country boy to play
Go, go

E
His mother told him someday
you will be a man
And you will be the leader
of a big ol' band

Many people comin' from miles around
E
To hear you play your music
when the sun go down
B
Maybe some day your
name will be in light
E
Saying, Johnny, be good tonight
Go, go, go, Johnny, go
