Version 1 Version 2Dear Doctor M. Jagger/K.Richards This is just a little modification on the chords put out by Ryan. Sounds good to me. [Chorus] 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 tear it out, and preserve it B E Right there in that jar? [Verse] 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 B E I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge 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 B E For you will be wed in the hour [Chorus] E So help me, please doctor, I'm 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 B E Right there in that jar? [Solo] [Chorus] 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 tear it out, and preserve it B E Right there in that jar? [Verse] E I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket E A A7 It had creases as sharp as a knife E I put the ring in my pocket D A But there was a note E B E And my heart it jumped into my mouth E It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you. E A A7 But I have no courage to speak to your face. E D A But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou E B E There will be no wedding today." [Chorus] E So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged E A A7 You can put back my heart in its hole E D A Oh mama, I'm cryin' Tears of relief E B E And my pulse is now under control
