CShe drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus
LeaFving Louisiana for the golden west
CDown came the tears from her happiness
Her Gown little son named Johnny B Goode
Was going to Cmake some motion pictures out in Holliwood
CBye bye bye bye, FBye bye bye Cbye
GBye-bye Johnny, FGoodbye Johnny B CGoode
CShe remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop
As Flong as he would play it by the railroad side
He Cwouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
But Gnever thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would Chave to give her son a goodbye kiss
CBye bye bye bye, FBye bye bye Cbye
GBye-bye Johnny, FGoodbye Johnny B CGoode
GUITAR SOLO
CShe finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As Fsoon as he was married he would bring her back
And Cbuild a mansion for them by the railroad track
So Gevery time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be Cstanding and waving in the kitchen door
CBye bye bye bye, FBye bye bye Cbye
GBye-bye Johnny, FGoodbye Johnny B CGoode
