A
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
A
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus
D
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
A
Down came the tears from her happiness
E
Her own little son name 'o Johnny B. Goode
A
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
[Chorus]
A
Bye, bye, bye, bye
DA
Bye, bye, bye, bye
E
Bye bye Johnny

Good bye Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 1]
A
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
A
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
D
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
A
Keep him out of trouble he was satisfied
E
But never thought that there would come a day like this
A
When she would have to give her boy a goodbye kiss
[Chorus]
A
Bye, bye, bye, bye
DA
Bye, bye, bye, bye
E
Bye bye Johnny

Good bye Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 3]
A
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
A
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
D
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
A
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
E
And every time they heard the locomotive roar
A
They'd be a-standin', a-wavin' by the kitchen door
[Out-Chorus]
A
Bye, bye, bye, bye
DA
Bye, bye, bye, bye
E
Bye bye Johnny
DAE
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
A
Bye, bye, bye, bye
DA
Bye, bye, bye, bye
E
Bye bye Johnny
DA
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
