Jason Xion Wang Creative/Unique/Rare Topics for Songs? (38) Chords Add: Oh, Doctor, Doctor (Tom Paxton) 03 Nov 14


Here is a link to the song I mentioned. The album wasn't released on CD yet. It was ripped from the LP.


Oh, Doctor, Doctor
(Tom Paxton)

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


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


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


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


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

Lyrics are printed on the inner notes of the album, and the chords are very simple. The song is originally in Gm.
