Johnson Love chords by Dwight Yoakam

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1
G+G             C majorC   D MajorD
She had left him lost and broken
         G+G
Like no other had before
               C majorC   D MajorD
And now his heart was just a token
          G+G
Of the pain it had endured
           C majorC    D MajorD
And his memories were clouded
                 G+G
With all the hurtful things she'd said
            C majorC     D MajorD
Yes fer all intent and purpose
              G+G
He might just as well been dead

Chorus
        D MajorD        C majorC         G+G
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
    D MajorD         C majorC         G+G
Hey hey Maureen swear they hear him just that plain
      D MajorD     C majorC         G+G
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
    C majorC
See his body died some years ago
    D MajorD              G+G
Around here Mr Johnson's love lives on

Verse 2
            C majorC    D MajorD
He seemed far away and distant
             G+G
With that cold and silent stare
          C majorC     D MajorD
Never moving, never speaking
             G+G
And just barely breathing air
            C majorC    D MajorD
No one really knew her reason
                G+G
And who can judge her right or wrong
             C majorC    D MajorD
The only true and solemn fact is
                G+G
The man we'd known was all but gone

Chorus>>>

Fiddle Solo: G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G

Verse 3
             C majorC      D MajorD
Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him
             G+G
Late that night on Shelby road
               C majorC     D MajorD
About a mile from there they found him
              G+G
It seems he died out in the snow
               C majorC     D MajorD
I hear'd the preacher at the service
              G+G
Say from love he's finally free
              C majorC     D MajorD
But I say love it knows no season
             G+G
It haunts the soul eternally

Chorus>>>

    C majorC                D MajorD               G+G
Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on...
