Bye Bye Johnny Chuck Berry
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
Lea[F]ving Louisiana for the golden west
[C]Down came the tears from her happiness
Her [G]own little son named Johnny B Goode
Was going to [C]make some motion pictures out in Holliwood
[C]Bye bye bye bye, [F]Bye bye bye [C]bye
[G]Bye-bye Johnny, [F]Goodbye Johnny B [C]Goode
[C]She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop
As [F]long as he would play it by the railroad side
He [C]wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
But [G]never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would [C]have to give her son a goodbye kiss
[C]Bye bye bye bye, [F]Bye bye bye [C]bye
[G]Bye-bye Johnny, [F]Goodbye Johnny B [C]Goode
(GUITAR SOLO)
[C]She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As [F]soon as he was married he would bring her back
And [C]build a mansion for them by the railroad track
So [G]every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be [C]standing and waving in the kitchen door
[C]Bye bye bye bye, [F]Bye bye bye [C]bye
[G]Bye-bye Johnny, [F]Goodbye Johnny B [C]Goode
Repeat ad lib to fade
Respect to Chuck
