VERSE 2 A//// A//// He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack A//// A//// Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track D//// D//// Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade A//// A//// Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made E7//// E7//// People passing by they would stop and say A//// A//// Oh my that little country boy could play CHORUS A//// A//// Go, go - - - - go Johnny go A//// A//// Go - - - - go Johnny go D//// D//// Go - - - - go Johnny go A//// A//// Go - - - - go Johnny go E7//// E7//// Go - - - - Johnny B. A//// A//// Goode VERSE 3 A//// A//// His mother told him "Someday you will be a man, A//// A//// And you will be the leader of a big old band D//// D//// Many people coming in from miles around A//// A//// To hear you play your music when the sun go down E7//// E7//// Maybe someday your name will be in lights A//// A//// Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight." REPEAT CHORUS TO END
