Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode tab

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.

Verse

The guitar doesn't actually play in the verse (just bass and piano), but if
you want something to strum - I suggest using these chords:

    Bb           Eb           F
e |----|     e |----|     e |----|
B |----|     B |-8--|     B |-10-|
G |-7--|     G |-8--|     G |-10-|
D |-8--|     D |-8--|     D |-10-|
A |-8--|     A |-6--|     A |-8--|
E |-6--|     E |----|     E |----|

Bb, Bb, Eb, Bb, F, Bb            (Play each chord for one line of the song)
