Johnny B. Goode Chuck Berry [Verse] A Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, A Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, D There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood A Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode E Who never ever learned to read or write so well, A But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell. [CHORUS:] A Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! D Go, Johnny, go! Go! A Go, Johnny, go! Go! A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode [Verse] He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track. Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade, Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made. When people passed him by they would stop and say, 'oh, my but that little country boy could play' [CHORUS:] A Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! D Go, Johnny, go! Go! A Go, Johnny, go! Go! A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode [Verse] His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man, You will be the leader of a big ol' band. Many people comin' from miles around Will hear you play your music when the sun go down. Maybe someday your name'll be in lights, Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'' [CHORUS:] A Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! D Go, Johnny, go! Go! A Go, Johnny, go! Go! A E Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode Johnny B. Goode Chuck Berry Here's a version (Chuck berry's I presume - wasn't he the guy that wrote it?) that sounds O.K. - play with a triplet feel, and play it fast! If anybody knows something different/better.... I'm all eyes.

Chuck Berry- Johnny B. Goode By the way, don't take the counting too seriously... it's only there for a bit of minor if you can't get a hard part, not as a rhythm guide for the entire piece. I've checked this a few times, I'm pretty sure that it's correct, although I can't be sure.

JOHNNY B.GOODE
performed by Chuck Berry
This is my attempt at the live performance of johnny b goode filmed in black
and white during the 1960's (i think)
Not a 100% correct tab but pretty good i think:)
If you have improvments to this then please e-mail me at ak210389@hotmail.com
ENJOY!!!
