 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
 
 BRIDGE:
 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

 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
