C Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus F Leaving Louisiana for the golden west C Down came the tears from her happiness G Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode C Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood Chorus: C F C I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye G F C G I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode She remembered taking money out from gathering crops And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he would play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied Never thought there'd ever come a day like this When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss Chorus Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love As soon as he was married he would bring her back And build a mansion for them by the railroad track Every time she heard a locomotive roar She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door Chorus - x3 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
