[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

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Oh my that little country boy sure can play
