[A] He found a Louisiana crossing New Orleans
Back [Em] up in the woods behind the Evergreen
[D] Stood a little cabin in a urchin [G] wood
[A] With every country barn he'd try and be good
[E] Who'd have ever learned [D] to read or write so well?
[Em] He'd pick his guitar up [A] and like a rhythm fell
Oh Johnny go go, oh Johnny go
[D] [G]
[F#m] [Em] [F#] go

Be you to [Em] carry his guitar in a gun and sack
Sit beneath the tree by the railroad [D] track
Thinkin' through the revels as the drive [Em] away
Sittin' down playin' all alone in the shade
[E] People passin' [D] by would stop and [G] say
