Johnny B. Goode - Peter Tosh

Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville   - …

Back up in the woods on top of a hill       - …

There stood an old hut made of earth and wood …

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

He never learned to read and a-write so well  …

But he could play his guitar

    like a-ringing a bell yell        [Intro]

                                      (Bm A

[Chorus] (He said go), go Johnny       Bm A x8)

Johnny B. Goode tonight, yeah

(He said go), go Johnny - (Johnny) B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack - …

Sitting in a tree in the railroad track     - …

Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade…

Strummin' with the rhythm

    that them drivers made                  - …

People passing by would a-stop and say      - …

Oh my, oh my, oh, what the boy can play

[Chorus] (I said oh) (…) [Solo] (x4) [Intro]

Mama said, son, you gotta be a man          - …

You gotta be the leader of a reggae band    - …

People coming in from miles around          - …

To hear you play until the sun goes down    - …

Boy someday your name will be in the lights - …

Saying Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight

[Chorus] (I said go) (Johnny, you better)

[Chorus] (Come on, go) (You better) [Solo] (x4)

(Go Johnny - … x2)   [Chorus - Variations] (x4)
