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.

[Verse 1]
G C She had left him lost and broken D G Like no other had before G C And now his heart was just a token D G Of the pain it had endured G C And his memories were clouded D G With all the hurtful things she'd said G C Yes, for all intent and purpose D G He might just as well been dead
[Chorus 1]
G D C G And some people claim they still hear him call her name G D C G Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain G D C G Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn G C See, his body died some years ago D G But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on
[Verse 2]
G C He seemed far away and distant D G With that cold and silent stare G C Never moving, never speaking D G And just barely breathing air G C No one really knew her reason D G And who can judge her right or wrong G C The only true and solemn fact is D G The man we'd known was all but gone
[Chorus 2]
G D C G And some people claim they still hear him call her name G D C G Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain G D C G Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn G C See, his body died some years ago D C G But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on
[Verse 3]
G C Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him D G Late that night on Shelby Road G C About a mile from there they found him D G It seems he'd died out in the snow G C I hear'd the preacher at the service D G Say from love he's finally free G C But I say love, it knows no season D G It haunts the soul eternally
[Chorus 3]
G D C G And some people claim they still hear him call her name G D C G Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain G D C G Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn G C Yeah, his body died some years ago D C G But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on G C Yes, his body died some years ago D C G But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on...
