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’.
