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...
