Johnson's Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She had left him lost and[C] broken
[D]Like no other had before
[G]Now[C] hi[G]s heart was just a token
[C]Of [D]all the pain it had end[G]ured[C][G]
And his memories [C]were clouded
[D]With all the hurtful things she'd sai[G]d
Yes for all intent and pur[C]pose[D]
He might just as well been [G]dead

[Verse 2]
And some people [D]claim they still
[C]hear him call [G]her name[D][G]
Hey hey [D]Maureen
Swear they hear [C]it just that [G]plain
Deep [C]in the night [D]or som[C]etimes
right at [G]dawn[D][G]
[Am]See his [G]body[C] died some years ago
But around [D]here Mr. Johnson's
love lives [G]on

[Verse 3]
He seemed far away and [C]distant
[D]With that cold and silent sta[G]re
Never moving, never [C]speak[D]ing
And just barely breathing [G]air
No one really knew her reas[C]on
[D]And who can judge her
right [G]or wrong
The only true and solemn [C]fact is
[D]The man we'd known was all but gone
[G]

[Verse 4]
Some people [D]claim they still [C]hear
him call [G]her name[D][G]
Hey hey [D]Maureen
Swear they [C]hear it just that [G]plain[D][G]
Deep [C]in the night [D]or som[C]etimes
right [G]at dawn[D][G]
[Am]See his [G]body[C] died some years ago
But around [D]here Mr. Johnson's Love
lives [G]on

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][G][C][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
Sissy Thompson said she'd [C]seen
[D]him
Late that night on Shelby [G]Road
About a mile from there
they [C]found [D]him
Seems he died out [G]in the snow
I hear'd the preacher at the ser[C]vice[D]
Say from love he's finally [G]free
But I say love it knows no sea[C]son
[D]It haunts the soul ete[G]rnally

[Verse 6]
Some people [D]claim they still
[C]hear him call [G]her name
Hey hey Maur[D]een
Swear they [C]hear it just [G]that plain[D][G]
Deep [C]in the night [D]or som[C]etimes
right [G]at dawn[D][G]
[Am]See [G]his body[C] died some
years ago
But around [D]here Mr. Johnson's
[Am]love lives on
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
[G]Yes his [C]body died some years ago
But around [D]here Mr.
Johnson's love lives [G]on[D]
