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
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
G
Kept some letters by his bed
C
and in 1962
D
He had underlined in red
G
Every single I love you
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
G7 D
They placed a wreath upon his door
D7
And soon they’ll carry him away
G
He stopped loving her today
G
You know she came to see him one last time
C
Oh and we all wondered if she would
D
And it kept running through my mind
G
This time he’s over her for good
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
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
G
Kept some letters by his bed
C
and in 1962
D
He had underlined in red
G
Every single I love you
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
G7 D
They placed a wreath upon his door
D7
And soon they’ll carry him away
G
He stopped loving her today
G
You know she came to see him one last time
C
Oh and we all wondered if she would
D
And it kept running through my mind
G
This time he’s over her for good
