JOHNSONS LOVE
Verse 1
[G]She had left him lost and broken[C] [D]
Like no other had before[G]
And now his heart was just a token[C] [D]
Of the pain it had endured[G]
And his memories were clouded[C] [D]
With all the hurtful things she'd said[G]
Yes fer all intent and purpose[C] [D]
He might just as well been dead[G]
Chorus
And some people claim they s[D]till hear him call her[C] name[G]
Hey hey Maureen swea[D]r they hear him just tha[C]t plain[G]
Deep in the night an[D]d sometimes [C]right at dawn[G]
See his body[C] died some years ago
Around here [D]Mr Johnsons love lives on[G]
Verse 2
He seemed far away and distant[C] [D]
With that cold and silent stare[G]
Never moving, never speaking[C] [D]
And just barely breathing air[G]
No one really knew her reason[C] [D]
And who can judge her right or wrong[G]
The only true and solomn fact is[C] [D]
The man we'd known was all but gone[G]
Chorus>>>
Verse 3
Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him[C] [D]
Late that night on Shelby road[G]
About a mile from there they found him[C] [D]
It seems he died out in the snow[G]
I hear'd the preacher at the service[C] [D]
Say from love he's finally free[G]
But I say love it knows no season[C] [D]
It haunts the soul eternally[G]
Chorus>>>
[C] [D]
[G]Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnsons love lives on...
