Status Quo - Bye Bye Johnny: chords

C
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
 F
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
 C
Down came the tears from her happiness
    G
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
           C
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

Chorus:
C                         F           C
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye
        G             F                    C    G
I said bye-bye Johnny, good bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss

Chorus

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door
