He Stopped Loving Her Today
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman

 
G 
He said I'll love you 'til I die
 
She told him you'll forget in  
Am 
time
 
As the years went slowly  
D7 
by
 
She still preyed upon his  
G 
mind

He kept her picture on his wall

 
Went half crazy now and  
Am 
then
 
He still loved her through it  
D7 
all
 
Hoping she'd come back  
G 
again

Kept some letters by his bed

 
Dated 19
Am 
62
 
He had underlined in  
D7 
red
 
Every single I love  
G 
you

I went to see him just today

 
Oh but I didn't see no  
Am 
tears
 
All dressed up to go  
D7 
away
 
First time I'd seen him smile in  
G 
years

(Chorus)

 
D7 
He stopped loving her  
G 
today
 
They placed a  
G7 
wreath upon his  
C 
door
 
And soon they'll carry him  
D7 
away
 
He stopped loving her  
G 
today

recitation

You know she came to see him one last time

Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

Repeat Chorus

Who is George Jones?
- George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum".Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968 he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.
George Jones has been called "The Rolls Royce Of Country Music" and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013.
Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"
