Johnny Mack lived near Maple Creek
F
He was long and lean and tough
C
A level head and a steady hand
F
And a wizard with the puck
C G F
And once across the blue line, oh
G
He'd never let you down
F G F
You could tell by the look in his coal black eyes
G C F G C F G
That boy was glory bound
C
He could bring the home town to its feet
F
With a goal in overtime
C
The scouts had pegged him sure enough
F
It was just a matter of time
C G
If there was any justice in this world
F G
He'd be picked in the second round
F G C F
'Cause he had the goods, there was no denying
G C F G C F G
That boy was glory bound
C
One afternoon before a game
F
I stopped by Johnny's place
C
With my father's car and a feeling in my heart
F
That night we'd take first place
C G F
There was something that he'd left behind
G
He'd fetch it back in town
F G C F
I never dreamt it at the time
G C
That fate would strike him down
Am G C
Ohh, we phoned the Mounties when he didn't show
Am G C
They found him in a ditch between here and Shaunavon
G
Roof caved in and it's fifty below
F G
Sirens wail and the blizzard blows
C
Oh, Johnny died young, but I grew old
F
And since that time I've come to think
C
When I see his name engraved on trophies
F
Or his picture in a case in the Kinsmen's rink
C G F
He somehow slipped the bonds of time
G
He's gained himself renown
F G C F
And I've started on that slow slide back
G C
But he's forever glory bound
F G C F
And I've started on that slow slide back
G C F
But he's forever glory bound
