Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor

A                                   Em A
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A                                         D Am 
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A                             
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
           D               G                 
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
A                       Em A 
Right there in that jar?

  
A                                     Em A
Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
A                                     D Am 
It's today that's the day of the plunge
A 
Oh the gal I'm to marry 
D                  G
Is a bow-legged sow
A                                       Em A 
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge
 
A                                             Em A
"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
A                                   D Am 
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
A                                    
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
D                       G 
Comb your long hair down,
A                              Em A 
For you will be wed in the hour
 
A                                     Em A
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A                                         D Am 
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A                          
I'm sleepin, it's a beatin'
D                          G 
Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
A                       Em A 
Right there in that jar?
Yup!

("Am E A D" Over Solo)


A                                   Em A
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A                                         D Am 
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A                             
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
           D               G                 
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
A                       Em A 
Right there in that jar?

A                                     Em A
I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket 
A                                D Am
It had creases as sharp as a knife
A 
I put the ring in my pocket
D                   G 
But there was a note
A                                  Em A 
And my heart it jumped into my mouth

A                                       Em A
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
A                                          D Am 
But I have no courage to speak to your face.
A                               D            G 
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou 
A                      
There be no wedding today." 

A                                     Em A
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A                                   D Am 
You can put back my heart in its hole
A 
Oh mama, I'm cryin'
D              G 
Tears of relief
A                                Em A 
And my pulse is now under control   

Enjoy!
