Johnny Be Goode


Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode By the way, don't take the counting too seriously... it's only there for a bit of minor if you can't get a hard part, not as a rhythm guide for the entire piece. I've checked this a few times, I'm pretty sure that it's correct, although I can't be sure. e --------|-5/6-6--6-5/6-6--6-5/6-6-|-6---------------|-------------------| B
