You Never Can Tell
Chuck Berry
It was a | [C] teenage wedding, and the | old folks wished them | well | [C]
You could | [C] see that Pierre did | truly love the madamoi- | [G]selle | [G]
And now the | [G] young monsieur and ma- | dame have rung the chapel | bell, | [G]
"C'est la | [G] vie", say the old folks, it | goes to show you never can | [C] tell
They furnished | [C] off an apartment with a | two room Roebuck | sale | [C]
The cooler- | [C]ator was crammed with TV | dinners and ginger | [G] ale, | [G]
But when | [G] Pierre found work, the little | money comin' worked out | well | [G]
"C'est la | [G] vie", say the old folks, it | goes to show you never can | [C] tell
Johnny B. Goode
Chuck Berry (1958)
Deep | [C] down in Louisiana close to | New Orleans
Way | [C] back up in the woods among the | evergreens
There | [F] stood a log cabin made of | earth and wood
Where | [C] lived a country boy named | Johnny B Goode
Who | [G] never ever learned to read or | write so well
But he could | [C] play the guitar just like | ringin' a bell
Chorus
Go! | [C] Go! | Go, Johnny go! |
[C] Go! | Go, Johnny go! |
[F] Go! | Go, Johnny, go! |
[C] Go! | Go, Johnny, go! |
[G] Go! | ...Johnny B. [C] Goode
