Bye Bye Johnny

Chuck Berry / Chuck Berry: Rockin' at the Hops (1960)

C
She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy upon 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 going to make some motion pictures out in Hollywood.
C F C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye;
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B. Goode!
 
C
She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop. 
F
As long as he would play it by the railroad side -
C
He wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied.
G
But never thought there'd ever come a day like this -
C
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss.
C F C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye;
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B. Goode!
 
SOLO
 
C
She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love. 
F
As soon as he was married he would bring her back -
C
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track.
G
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
C
They'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door.
C F C
Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye;
G F C
Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B. Goode!
