Dear Doctor
Jagger/Richards

   E
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
E                                       A7
There's a pain where there once was a heart
     E                                  D              A
It's sleepin', it's a-beatin', can't ya please tear it out
       E              B             E
And preserve it right there in that jar?

   E
Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
     E                           A7
It's today that's the day of the plunge
E                            D          A
Oh the gal I'm to marry 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                        A7
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
          E                                     D         A
Pull your socks up, put your suit on, comb your long hair down
    E           B          E
For you will be wed in the hour


Repeat verse 1

Break

      E
I was tremblin' as I put on my jacket
       E                     A7
It had creases as sharp as a knife
          E                      D           A
I put the ring in my pocket, 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                        A7
But I've no courage to speak to your face
    E                     D           A
I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
           E       B      E
There will be no wedding today"

   E
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
        E                        A7
Can you 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
