^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...
