He Stopped Loving Her Today

 4   4   4    4    4   -3  3  1
He said I'll love you 'til I die

 4   4    4     4    -3   3  3   2
She told him "You'll for-get in time."

 4  4    5    -4   -4  -4  -3
As the years went slow-ly  by

-3    -3    4    -3 3   -3  1
she still preyed up-on his mind.

Chorus

 5    5     6   5   6   5 -2
He stopped lov-ing her to-day.

 5     5    5   6     5  6  -6  6 -5
They placed a wreath up-on  his door,

-5   -5    6     -6  6   6  -4 -4
and soon they'll car-ry him a-way.

-3    -3   -4   4   6  5  -4 4
He stopped lov-ing her to-day

verse 2
 
 4  4    4   4   -3  3  -3   1
He kept her pic-ture on his wall;

 4    4    4  -3  3   3   2
went half cra-zy now and then,

 3  4    4     5    -4   -4    -4  -3
but he still loved her through it  all,

-3  -3   4     -3   3   -3  1
hop-ing she'd come back a-gain.

verse 3

He kept some letters by his bed, dated 1962.
He had underlined in red every single, "I love you",

verse 4
 
I went to see him just today, oh, but I didn't see no tears;
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years.
(To Chorus:)

verse 5 (spoken)

You know, she came to see him one last time.
We all wondered if she would.
And it came running through my mind,
This time he's over her for good. (To Chorus:)
