Still (Country 1, 1963)     (video)

 

     C                        C7                     F

(Still) though you broke my heart, (still) though we’re far apart,

 C                 G

(I love you still).

    C           C7                   F

(Still) after all this time, (still) you're still on my mind,

C G7           F   - C

I love you still.

 

    C - C7 - F

1.                   I lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days,

C

    in fact, I've lost just about everything since you went away,

G

    everything that is except the memories you left me,

                       C                                      - C7

    and that's one thing no one can mar.

                                                  - F

    I don't know who you're with,      I don't even know where you’re gone,

                                                              C

    my only hope is that someday you might hear this song

                        G

    and you'll know I wrote it especially for you,

F                                 C

    and I love you wherever you are.

 

    C           C7                   F

(Still) after all this time, (still) you're still on my mind,

C G7           F   - C

I love you still.

   C - C7 - F

2.                  This flame in my heart is like a torch of fire

                    C

    for everyday it burns hotter and everyday it burns brighter

                                   G

    and I haven't been able to put out one little flicker,

 

    not even with all of these tears.

C                                  C7

    My friends say I'm crazy and maybe I am,

F

    but I'll carry this torch just as long as I can,

            C                                       G7

    for someday you just might decide to come home,

                                     F                 C

    and I want you to know I'm still here.

 

     C                        C7                     F

(Still) though you broke my heart, (still) though we’re far apart,

C G7           F   - C

I love you still.
