The Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor

      
 
 Chorus 1
 
 E                                     
 Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
 E                                       A  A7 
 There's a pain where there once was a heart
 E                           
 It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
            D             A            E     
 Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
         B7            E 
 Right there in that jar?
 
 Verse 1
 
 E                                     
 Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
 E                                  A   A7 
 It's today that's the day of the plunge
 E                      
 Oh the gal I'm to marry
 D                A 
 Is a bow-legged sow
 E                      B7            E  
 I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge
 
 Verse 2
 
 E                                             
 "Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
 E                                A  A7 
 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                B7          E 
 For you will be wed in the hour
 
 Chorus 2
 
 E                                       
 Oh help me, please doctor, I'm a-damaged
 E                                      A   A7 
 There's a pain where there once was a heart
 E                          
 I'm sleepin, it's a-beatin'
            D             A         E        
 Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
        B7             E          
 Right there in that jar? Alright!
 
 Song changes to the Key of A
 
 Chorus 3
 
 A                                   
 Oh help me, dear doctor, I'm damaged
 A                                      D   D7 
 There's a pain where there once was a heart
       A                     
 It's sleepin, it's a-beatin'
            G             D         A        
 Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
        E             A  
 Right there in that jar?
 
 Verse 3
 
 A                                     
 I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
 A                             D   D7 
 It had creases as sharp as a knife
             A              
 I put the ring in my pocket
       G          D  
 But there was a note
          A              E       A      
 And my heart jumped right into my mouth
 
 A                                        
 It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
 A                                     D D7 
 I've no courage to speak to your face.
 A                              G           D 
 But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
            A      E      A        
 And there'll be no wedding today."
 
 A                                     
 So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
 A                                 D  D7 
 You can put back my heart in its hole
 A                    G        D        
 Oh mama, I'm cryin' fat tears of relief
 A                    E     A     
 And my pulse is now under control
