JOHNSONS LOVE

Verse 1

G C D

She had left him lost and broken

G

Like no other had before

C D

And now his heart was just a token

G

Of the pain it had endured

C D

And his memories were clouded

G

With all the hurtful things she'd said

C D

Yes fer all intent and purpose

G

He might just as well been dead

Chorus

D C G

And some people claim they still hear him call her name

D C G

Hey hey Maureen swear they hear him just that plain

D C G

Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn

C

See his body died some years ago

D G

Around here Mr Johnsons love lives on

Verse 2

C D

He seemed far away and distant

G

With that cold and silent stare

C D

Never moving, never speaking

G

And just barely breathing air

C D

No one really knew her reason

G

And who can judge her right or wrong

C D

The only true and solomn fact is

G

The man we'd known was all but gone

Chorus

Verse 3

C D

Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him

G

Late that night on Shelby road

C D

About a mile from there they found him

G

It seems he died out in the snow

C D

I hear'd the preacher at the service

G

Say from love he's finally free

C D

But I say love it knows no season

G

It haunts the soul eternally

Chorus

C D

G

Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnsons love lives on...
