F# He said I'll love you 'til I die B She told him you'll forget in time C# As the years went slowly by F# She still preyed upon his mind F# He kept her picture on his wall B Went half crazy now and then C# He still loved her through it all F# D7 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 He stopped loving her today G7 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)
