HERE GOES

C5
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust

And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus

Leaving Louisianna for the golden west

Down came the tears from her happiness
    F5
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
           C5
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

C5
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
       F5          C5
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
       G5             C5
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

AND THATS AS FAR AS I'VE GOT BUT THATS ABOUT IT.
