(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse)
He said I'll love you 'til I (G)die
(G) She told him you'll for-(C)get in time
(C) As the years went (D)slowly by
(D) She still preyed upon (G)his mind
(G) He kept her picture on his wall
(G) Went half crazy now and (C) then
(C) He still loved her (D)through it all
(D) Hoping she'd come back a-(G)gain

(Chorus)
(G#) Found love letters letters by his bed
(G#) Dated nineteen-(C#)sixty-two
(C#) He had underlined in (D#) red
(D#) Every single I (G#)love you

(Verse)
(G#) I went to see him just today
(G#7) Oh, but I didn't see no (C#)tears
(C#) He was all dressed up to go (D#) away
(D#) First time I'd seen him smile in (G#)years

(Chorus)
(G#) He stopped loving her today
(G#) They placed a wreath upon his (C#)door
(C#) And soon they'll carry him (D#7) away
(D#7) He stopped loving her (G#)today

(Verse)
(G#) You know, she came to see him one last time
(C#) Aw, 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)
(G#) He stopped loving her today
(G#) They placed a wreath upon (C#) his door
(C#) And soon they'll carry him (D#) away
(D#) He stopped loving - - - her today (G#) - - - - -
