Original key = C5

C5
She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust

And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus
   F5
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
C5
Down came the tears from her happiness
    G5
Her own little son named Johnny B Goode
             C5
Was going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood


C5                F5           C5
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G5               F5                C5
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode


C5
She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop
   F5
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
   C5
He wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
    G5
But never thought there'd ever come a day like this
               C5
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss


C5                F5           C5
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G5               F5                C5
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode

[GUITAR SOLO]
C5
She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of

Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
   F5
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
    C5
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
   G5
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
          C5
They'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door


C5                F5           C5
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G5               F5                C5
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
