Glory Bound

	  		
Intro: C    F  G  C    F  G 

C 
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

    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
