He said I’ll love you ’til I die
Dm
She told him you’ll forget in time
G7
As the years went slowly by
C
She still preyed upon his mind
C
He kept her picture on his wall
Dm
Went half crazy now and then
G7
He still loved her through it all
C
Hoping she’d come back again
C
Kept some letters by his bed
Dm
Dated 1962
G7
He had underlined in red
C
Every single I love you
C
I went to see him just today
Dm
Oh but I didn’t see no tears
G7
All dressed up to go away
C
First time I’d seen him smile in years
Chorus:
G7 C
He stopped loving her today
C7 F
They placed a wreath upon his door
G7
And soon they’ll carry him away
C
He stopped loving her today
(recitation)
C
You know she came to see him one last time
Dm
Oh and we all wondered if she would
G7
And it kept running through my mind
C
This time he’s over her for good
Repeat Chorus
G7 C
He stopped loving her today
C7 F
They placed a wreath upon his door
G7
And soon they’ll carry him away
C
He stopped loving her today
