Johnsons Love

This is a really easy song that brings back memories of singing with my Dad while he played guitar around a bonfire. I didn’t see any tab for it so if you like Dwight Yoakam here is an easy classic. G    320033 C    x32030 D    xx0232 [Verse 1] She had left him lost and broken Like no other had before And now his heart was just a token Of the pain it had endured And his memories were clouded With all the hurtful things she’d said Yes for all intent and purpose He might just as well been dead [Chorus 1] And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on [Verse 2] He seemed far away and distant With that cold and silent stare Never moving never speaking And just barely breathing air No one really knew her reason And who can judge her right or wrong The only true and solemn fact is The man we’d known was all but gone [Chorus 2] And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on [Verse 3] Sissy Thompson said she’d seen him Late that night on Shelby Road About a mile from there they found him It seems he’d died out in the snow I hear’d the preacher at the service Say from love he’s finally free But I say love it knows no season It haunts the soul eternally [Chorus 3] And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn Yeah his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on Yes his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on...
