Oh, Doctor, Doctor

Capo 3rd fret


Em (which is actually Em7 hammered on D string for Em)


                C                       Em
You told me the sunshine was bound to revive me.
                D                               Em
You told me the cool breeze was gonna bring me around.
                 C                     Em
But something is breaking and moving inside me,
                D                     Em
And something inside me is tearing me down.

Oh, Doctor, Doctor, you didn't give me no warning.
You didn't help me get ready - now anybody can see.
I can't stand the pity and the sorrowful glances.
They all know my body is quitting on me.

            D                         Em
Oh, Doctor, Doctor, don't let me just lie here,
                  D                                  Em
Don't let me just wait here 'cause the waiting's too slow.
            D                           Em
Oh, Doctor, Doctor, please show me some mercy.
             D                       Em
I'm tired of waiting - please let me go.

I want to open my window; I want to feel the sunshine;
Listen to children go hurrying past.
See the beautiful blackbird settle down in the chestnut.
It's a beautiful sunset and I hope it's my last.

            D                         Em
Oh, Doctor, Doctor, don't let me just lie here,
                  D                                  Em
Don't let me just wait here 'cause the waiting's too slow.
            D                           Em
Oh, Doctor, Doctor, please show me some mercy.
             D         C      D   C  Em
I'm tired of waiting - please let me go!
