Johnny B. Goode Lyrics > Back to the Future

[Intro: Marty McFly]
Okay, ah, so, uh, this one's an oldie... Well, it's an oldie where I come from. Okay, so this is a blues riff in B flat. Watch me for the changes, and, um... yeah, try to keep up, okay?

[Instrumental introduction]

[Verse 1: Marty]
Way down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named-a Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar like he's ringing a bell

[Chorus: Marty]
Go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 2: Marty]
His mama told him, "Someday, you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big ol' band
Now, many people coming from-a miles around
To hear you playing music when the sun come down
Maybe someday your name will be in light
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight!""

[Chorus: Marty and Prom Attendees]
Go, go! (Go, go,)
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Johnny B. Goode!

[Instrumental break accompanied by Marty's rock guitar solo. Said solo starts becoming too audacious and eventually ends]

[Outro: Marty]
Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it...
