[D] I'm a young man, I'm a man of my [A] word.
I lived a country boy named Johnny B.
Goode.
[E] Who never ever learned to [Em] read and write [A] so well.
But he could play the guitar just like a ring in a bell.
Go Johnny, go, go, go.
Johnny go, I said go.
Go Johnny, go, go.
Go Johnny, go, [Em] go.

[Dm] So [A] [G] the solos are live when you see the show live.
Yeah, the solos are live.
And how do you get back on track then?
I listen to it.
Yeah.
I have to listen.
For him to do a drum solo like he does because he's not [Dm] listening for the track and hoping it's correct.
He just goes [Am] straight on.
And every time he makes it, I [Dm] applaud.
Right?
You've made it every time so far.
[G] So far.
