Grean Roses

G
C
At the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed
the way
Am
Em
C
D
The shadow of night waited to see the bright light of
the day
G
C
Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of
rain
Am
Em
C
D
The river of blood under his feet run wild again and
again
Refren:
G
C
The green roses will grow
Am
D
While green fields turn to red
Em
C
Only memory remains
Am
D
Of hero and his faith
He just stood and he stared with a sword in his hand
Under the bridge of rainbow's gold he fought for his
land
The black crow stole his destiny and flew from the
cross
Flyin' high, goin' so far to take his soul away

Joni be good
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell.
[Chorus:]
Go Go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade,
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made.
The people passing by, they would stop and say,
"Oh, my, but that little country boy could play!"
[Chorus]
His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down.
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'."
[Chorus]
