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

And soon they'll carry him away
                        F
He stopped loving her today
