Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
By the way, don't take the counting too seriously... it's only there for a bit of minor
if you can't get a hard part, not as a rhythm guide for the entire piece.
I've checked this a few times, I'm pretty sure that it's correct, although I can't be
sure.

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 Fe |----| e |----| e |----|B |----| B |-8--| B |-10-|G |-7--| G |-8--| G |-10-|D |-8--| D |-8--| D |-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)
