He said I'll love you 'til I [F] die.  She told him you'll forget in [Bb]  time.  As the years went slowly [C] by, she still preyed upon his [F] mind.

He kept her picture on his [F] wall.  Went half crazy now and [Bb] then. He still loved her through it [C] all - Hoping she'd come back [F] again

( KEY CHANGE )
Kept some letters by his [G]  bed, dated nineteen-sixty- [C] -two.  He had underlined in [D] red, every single I love [G] you.

I went to see him just [G] today.  Oh, but I didn't see no [C] tears. All dressed up to go [D] away.  First time I'd seen him smile in [G] years

[CHORUS] - - - - - He stopped loving her [G] today.  They placed a wreath upon his [C] door.  And soon they'll carry him [D] away. He stopped loving her [G] today

[Verse - partially spoken] - - - - - You know, she came to see him one last [G] time.  Aw, and we all wondered if she [C] would.  And it kept running through my [D] mind: This time he's over her for [G] good
