C5
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
C5
And put her little boy aboard 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 gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
[Chorus]
C5F5C5
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye
G5F5C5G5
I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 2]
C5
Weel, she remembered taking money out from gathering crops
C5
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
F5
Long as he would play it by the railroad side
C5
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
G5
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
C5
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss
[Chorus]
C5F5C5
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, I said bye-bye bye-bye
G5F5G5
I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 3]
C5
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
C5
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
F5
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
C5
Build a mansion for them by the railroad track
G5
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
C5
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door
[Chorus]
C5F5C5
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, I said bye-bye bye bye bye
G5F5C5G5
I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, I said bye-bye bye-bye
G5F5C5G5
I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, I said bye-bye bye-bye

I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, I said bye-bye bye-bye

I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode
