Dwight Yoakam - Johnson Love Chords

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 Johnson's 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 solemn fact is
                               G
The man we'd known was all but gone

Chorus>>>

Fiddle Solo: G C D G

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. Johnson's love lives on...
