Remove AdsCShe drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus
FLeaving Louisiana for the golden west
CDown came the tears from her happiness
G
Her own little son named Johnny B Goode
CWas going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood
C F CBye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
CShe remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop
FAs long as he would play it by the railroad side
CHe wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
GBut never thought there'd ever come a day like this
CWhen she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
C F CBye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
[GUITAR SOLO]
CShe finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
FAs soon as he was married he would bring her back
CAnd build a mansion for them by the railroad track
GSo every time they heard the locomotive roar
CThey'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door
C F CBye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode
