Go! E7 A Go, Johnny, go! go! Go! Johnny B. Goode A He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track. D Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade, A Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made. E7 When people passed him by they would stop and say, A 'oh, my but that little country boy could play' REPEAT CHORUS … Go! Go!.... [A] His mother told him, 'Someday you will be a man, You will be the leader of a big ol' band. [D] Many people comin' from miles around Will [A] hear you play your music when the sun go down.
