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