Chuck Berry

^C She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus
Lea ^F ving Louisiana for the golden west
^C Down came the tears from her happiness
Her ^G own little son named Johnny B Goode
Was going to ^C make some motion pictures out in Holliwood
^C Bye bye bye bye, ^F Bye bye bye ^C bye
^G Bye-bye Johnny, ^F Goodbye Johnny B ^C Goode
^C She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop
As ^F long as he would play it by the railroad side
He ^C wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
But ^G never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would ^C have to give her son a goodbye kiss
^C Bye bye bye bye, ^F Bye bye bye ^C bye
^G Bye-bye Johnny, ^F Goodbye Johnny B ^C Goode
(GUITAR SOLO)
^C She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As ^F soon as he was married he would bring her back
And ^C build a mansion for them by the railroad track
So ^G every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be ^C standing and waving in the kitchen door
^C Bye bye bye bye, ^F Bye bye bye ^C bye
^G Bye-bye Johnny, ^F Goodbye Johnny B ^C Goode
Repeat ad lib to fade
Respect to Chuck
