[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, for 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, Lord, 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...
