A cool oldie from the Stones, in 3/4 tempo. Have some fun with a harmonica, by the end.
DEAR DOCTOR
Rolling Stones
D
Oh, help me, dear doctor, I`m damaged,
G
There`s a pain where there once was a heart.
D F G
It`s sleeping, it`s beating, can`t you please take it out
D A D
and preserve it right there in that jar.
D
Oh, help me, please, Mama, I`m sickening,
G
It`s today that`s the day of the plunge.
D F G
Oh, the gal, I`m to marry, is a bow-legged sow,
D A D
I`ve been soaking up drink like a sponge.
D
"Don`t worry, get dressed!" cried my mother,
G
as she plied me with bourbon so sour
D F G
"Pull your socks on, put your suit on, comb your long hair down,
D A D
for you will be wed in the hour."
D
Oh, help me, dear doctor, I`m damaged,
G
There`s a pain where there once was a heart.
D F G
It`s sleeping, it`s beating, can`t you please take it out
D A D
and preserve it right there in that jar.
D
I was trembling as I put on my jacket,
G
it had creases as sharp as a knife.
D F G
I put the ring in my pocket, but there was a note,
D A D
and my heart it jumped into my mouth.
D
It read, "Darling, I`m sorry to hurt you,
G
but I`ve no courage to speak in your face.
D F G
But I`m down in Virginia with your cousin Lou,
D A D
and there`ll be no wedding today."
D
Oh, help me, dear doctor, I`m damaged,
G
you can put back my heart in its hole.
D F G
Oh, Mama, I`m crying tears of relief,
D A D
and my pulse is now under control.
