(Em   D)   

deep down in jamaica close to mandeville   
back up in the woods on top of a hill   
there stood an old hut made of earth and wood   
where lived a country boy named johnny b goode   
he never learned to read and a write so well   
but he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell   

refrão:  
i say go(go johnny) johnny be goode tonight yeah  
i say go(go johnny) jjjjohny be goode

he used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack   
sitting in a tree in the railroad track   
old engineer in the train sitting in the shade   
strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made   
people passing by would stop and say   
oh my oh my what the boy can play

mama said son you gotta be a man   
you gotta be the leader of a reggae band   
people coming in from miles around   
to hear you play until the sun goes down   
boy someday your name will be in the lights   
saying johnny b goode tonight
