Verse 1
Deep A down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There D stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where A lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who E7 never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could A play the UKULELE like a ringin’ a bell.

Verse 2
He used to A put his UKULELE in a gunny sack and
Sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.
An D engineers could see him sitting in the shade
A strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
E7 People passing by... they would stop and say
Oh A my but that little country boy can play.

Verse 3
His A mother told him “someday you will be a man”
And you will be the leader of a Big Uke Jam
D Many, many people come from miles around to
A hear your UKULELE till the sun go down
E7 Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin’ A ‘ Johnny B. Goode tonight’.

Verse 1
A Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
feelin’ nearly faded as my E7 jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or A leans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the D blues,
With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and A Bobby clapping hands with mine
We E7 sang every song that driver A knew

Verse 2
From the A coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my E7 soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the A cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll D find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a A single yesterday
E7 holdin’ Bobby’s body next to A mine
