G 
He said I'll love you till 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 
Dated 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      G7 
He stopped loving her today 
                              C 
They placed a wreath upon his door 
                            D 
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 
 
 
Chorus 
 
He stopped loving her today
