Bye Bye Jonny & Rock 'n Roll (Maggie][A] - Chuck Berry
[Verse 1]
She [A] drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And [A] put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
[D] Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
[A] Down came the tears from her happiness
Her [E7] own little son named Johnny B. Goode was gonna
[A] make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
[Chorus 1]
[A] Bye, bye, bye, bye, [D] Bye, bye, bye, bye
[E7] Bye bye Johnny, [D] Good bye Johnny B. [A] Goode
[Verse 2]
She re[A] membered taking money out from gathering crop
And [A] buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As [D] long as he would play it by the railroad side
And [A] wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But [E7] never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would [A] have to give her son a goodbye kiss
[Chorus 1] [A] Bye, bye....
[Verse 3]
She [A] finally got the letter she was dreaming of
[A] Johnny wrote and told 'er he had fell in love
As [D] soon as he was married he would bring her back
And [A] build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So [E7] every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be [A] standin' and a-wavin' in the kitchen door
[Chorus 1] [ LOUDLY] [A] Bye, bye...........
[Chorus 1] [ QUIETLY] [A] Bye, bye...........
[LOUDLY]
[NC] Just gimme some o' that
[Chorus 2]
[A] Rockin rollin music,any old way you choose it
It's got a [D] backbeat, you can't lose it, [A] any old time you use it
It's [E7] gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with [A] me
[E7] If you wanna dance with [A] me,
[Verse] I have no kick against [E7] modern jazz, unless they try to play it [A] too darn fast
And change the beauty of the [D] melody, until they sound just like a [E7] symphony
That's why I go for that
[Chorus 2] [A] Rockin rollin music.....
[Verse] I took my love on over '[E7] cross the tracks, so she can hear my man a-[A] wail a sax
I must admit they really [D] got to me, as they were jamming that [E7] ukulele
So just gimme that
[Chorus 2] [A] Rockin rollin music....
Way down south they had a [E7] jubilee, those Georgie folks they had a [A] jamboree
They're drinkin homebrew from a [D] wooden cup, the folks all dancin got [E7] all shookup
And started playing that
[Chorus 2] [A] Rockin rollin music....
[Chorus 1] [A] Bye, bye, bye, bye, [D] Bye, bye, bye, bye
[E7] Bye bye Johnny, [D] Good bye Johnny B. [A] Goode [A///]
