 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...
