[Verse]
N.C. G
He said I'll love you 'til I die
C
She told him you'll forget in time
D
As the years went slowly by
G
She still preyed upon his mind
N.C. G
He kept her picture on his wall
C
Went half crazy now and then
D
He still loved her through it all
G
Hoping she'd come back again
[Chorus]
G#
Kept some letters by his bed
C#
Dated nineteen-sixty-two
Eb
He had underlined in red
G#
Every single I love you
[Verse]
N.C. G
I went to see him just today
C
Oh but I didn't see no tears
D
All dressed up to go away
G
First time I'd seen him smile in years
[Chorus]
G#
He stopped loving her today
C#
It placed a wreath upon his door
Eb
And soon they'll carry him away
G#
He stopped loving her today
[Verse]
N.C. G
You know, she came to see him one last time
C
Aw we all wondered if she would
D
And it kept running through my mind
G
This time he's over her for good
[Chorus]
G#
He stopped loving her today
C#
It placed a wreath upon his door
Eb
And soon they'll carry him away
G#
He stopped loving her today
