Lousianan valtiosta: New Orleans

[Verse]
E
Kitaraa hän kantoi pikku pussissa
                           E
ja istui usein rautateiden varrella
     A
Moni junankuljettaja,
joka ajoi paikan ohi
E
kuuli soiton, sitten aivan
väärän lipun sohi
B
kuulijoita muusikkomme
lisää alkoi voittaa
E
jengi huusi: tuo poika
kyllä osaa soittaa

Go, go

[Verse]
     E
Äiti sanoi: joskus vielä
tulee sekin päivä
jolloin pikku kitarasta
            E
muistona on häivä
A
Sinulla on orkesteri jonka
soitto silloin
E
kutsuu monet tanssiin,
aurinko kun laskee illoin
B
Neonvalot välkkyvät,
loksahtavat suut:
E
Tämän illan soittaa
Johnny B. Goode
