Verse 1
Bb
Deep down in Louisiana
close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
among the evergreens
Eb
There stood a log cabin
made of earth and wood
Bb
Where lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode
F
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
Bb
But he could play the guitar
just like ringing a bell

Verse 2
Bb
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Eb
Oh, the engineers would see him
sitting in the shade
Bb
Strumming with the rhythm
that the drivers made
F
The people passing by
they would stop and say
Bb
"Oh my what that little
country boy could play"
