Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

Original chord sheet by.....................................(TPLBA@aol.com)
(With chords and alternative intro by)......Nigel (nigel@amlor.demon.co.uk)
Plagiarized and expanded on by...........Kyle Cormier (kc_hybrid@yahoo.com)

Okay,  the history of this file is a little convoluted, so I'll just take a
Laban, with an addition from Nigel.  I am sure that the tab,  and the chord
file by 'TPLBA' were the basis for the tab by Kyle Cormier which I found on
another tab site. There were too many similarities to be mere coincidences.
Also,  although the tab covered more of the song, some of his 'corrections'
were actually introducing flaws, and he just copied and pasted earlier bits
of the song into the later break which weren't actually the same.  This tab
my own work.  As far as I am aware, this is the first and only complete tab
for this song on the internet.

 Xb - Bend note (listen to the track to figure out the bend)
XhY - Pick note X then hammer-on Y
X/Y - Pick note X then slide up to Y
XbY - Play note X then bend up to give the note of fret Y
 X. - Palm mute note X

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Note: Don't take the timing notation as gospel (also notice that the timing
markings are not always regularly spaced), it's just a guide for if you are
unable to see how a particular part of the tab relates to the actual song.

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-|

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)
