Dear Doctor
Rolling Stones

E
Oh help me, please doctor I'm a damaged
E	                              A
There's a pain where there once was a heart
     E	
It's sleeping, its a beating
          D	         A
Can't you please tear it out, 
E                A             E
And preserve it right there in that jar?

E
Oh help me please mama, I'm sickening
E                                A
Its today that's the day of the plunge
E
Oh the gal I'm to marry 
     D		A
Is a bow legged sow
              E		 A	      E 	
And I've been soaking up drink like a sponge

E
"Don't ya worry, get dressed", cried my mother
E                               A
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
E
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
          D	    A
Comb your long hair down,
    E	        A	   E	
For you will be wed in the hour

Oh help me, please doctor I'm a damaged
A	                              D
There's a pain where there once was a heart
     A
It's sleeping, its a beating
          G              D
Can't you please tear it out, 
A	 	D               A
And preserve it right there in that jar?

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

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

A
So help me, please doctor I'm damaged
A                                D	
You can put back my heart in its hole
    A	             G	      D	
Oh mamma, I'm crying tears of relief
       A            D     A	
And my pulse is now under control
