Bye Bye Johnny

• C

BYE BYE JOHNNY - CHUCK BERRY 
 
A combination of Chuck Berry/Rolling Stones/Status Quo versions 
 
 
Original key = C 
 
 
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 Holliwood 
 
 
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 
 
 
{GUITAR 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 
 
 
Repeat ad lib to fade 
 
Enjoy!
