Verse 1
---------

    Bb
Way down in Louisiana down 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 a guitar just like he's ringin' a bell

Verse 2

(Play Like Verse 1)

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
The engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the driver made
When people passed him by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy sure can play
