The last thing I noticed when I listened to the first disc of Live at the BBC a couple days ago is that in "Johnny B. Goode," the phrase "sun goes down" in the lines "Many people comin' from miles around / To hear you play your music till the sun goes down" descends (D C# A, I think), musically giving a sense of the sunset.
Looking at my old notes, I discovered that I noticed this about Berry's original back in May 2018. An-other note I made (in June 2016) about his original that's also applicable to the Beatles' version is that one line could be transcribed as either "He could play his guitar just like a ring in a bell" or "He could play his guitar just like a-ringin' a bell." The first implies that guitar playing is an inherent natural ability that Johnny B. Goode has; the other implies that he could play guitar with extreme ease.
