James Keelaghan - Glory Bound
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:     C    F    G      C    F  G  
CJohnny Mack lived near Maple Creek
He was long and lean and toughF  
A Clevel head and a steady hand
And a wizard with the puckF  
And Conce across the Gblue line, Foh
He'd never let you Gdown
You could Ftell by the Glook in his Fcoal black eyes
That boy was Gglory CboundF  G  C  F  G  
He could Cbring the home town to its feet
With a goal in overtimeF  
The Cscouts had pegged him sure enough
It was just a matter of time F  
If there Cwas any justice Gin this world
He'd be Fpicked in the second Ground
'Cause he Fhad the Ggoods, there was Cno deFnying
That boy was Gglory CboundF  G  C  F  G  
One Cafternoon before a game
I stopped by Johnny's placeF  
With my Cfather's car and a feeling in my heart
That night we'd take first Fplace
There was Csomething that he'd Gleft beFhind
He'd fetch it back in Gtown
I Fnever Gdreamt it Cat the Ftime
That fate would Gstrike him Cdown
BRIDGE:
AmOhh, we phoned the GMounties when he didn't shCow
They Amfound him in a ditch between Ghere and CShaunavon
Roof caved in and it's Gfifty below
FSirens wail and the Gblizzard blows
INTERLUDE:    G     C    F     G     C    F  G  
Oh, CJohnny died young, but I grew old
And since that time I've Fcome to think
When I Csee his name engraved on trophies
Or his picture in a case in the FKinsmen's rink
He Csomehow slipped the Gbonds of Ftime
He's gained himself reGnown
And I've Fstarted Gon that Cslow slide Fback
But he's forever Gglory Cbound
And I've Fstarted Gon that Cslow slide Fback
But he's forever Gglory CboundF

James Keelaghan - Glory Bound

CAPO: 5th Fret

C F G C F G

INTRO:

Johnny Mack lived near Maple Creek

He was long and lean and tough

A level head and a steady hand

And a wizard with the puck

C G F

And once across the blue line, oh

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

He could bring the home town to its feet

With a goal in overtime

The scouts had pegged him sure enough

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

One afternoon before a game

I stopped by Johnny's place

With my father's car and a feeling in my heart

That night we'd take first place

C G F

There was something that he'd left behind

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

Roof caved in and it's fifty below

F G

Sirens wail and the blizzard blows

G C F G C F G

INTERLUDE:

Oh, Johnny died young, but I grew old

And since that time I've come to think

When I see his name engraved on trophies

Or his picture in a case in the Kinsmen's rink

C G F

He somehow slipped the bonds of time

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

OUTRO:

G C F

Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yiiiii

G C F

Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yiiiii

G C F

Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yiiiii

G C

Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yiiiii
