Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor
A Em A
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A D Am
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
D G
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
A Em A
Right there in that jar?
A Em A
Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
A D Am
It's today that's the day of the plunge
A
Oh the gal I'm to marry
D G
Is a bow-legged sow
A Em A
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge
A Em A
"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
A D Am
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
A
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
D G
Comb your long hair down,
A Em A
For you will be wed in the hour
A Em A
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A D Am
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A
I'm sleepin, it's a beatin'
D G
Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
A Em A
Right there in that jar?
Yup!
("Am E A D" Over Solo)
A Em A
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A D Am
There's a pain where there once was a heart
A
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
D G
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
A Em A
Right there in that jar?
A Em A
I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
A D Am
It had creases as sharp as a knife
A
I put the ring in my pocket
D G
But there was a note
A Em A
And my heart it jumped into my mouth
A Em A
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
A D Am
But I have no courage to speak to your face.
A D G
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
A
There be no wedding today."
A Em A
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
A D Am
You can put back my heart in its hole
A
Oh mama, I'm cryin'
D G
Tears of relief
A Em A
And my pulse is now under control
Enjoy!

| this starts the studio peak of the Stones IMOP 68-72 The live peak for the band is a touch later 71-73. That was once Mick TAYLOR got more comfortable to play like only he could. Brilliant lyrics,,,,,,a touch like Fool in the Rain. an interesting story. Nothing brilliant or life shaping but just a real nice (well not sure if Nice fits) but it's a great story. The Coen Brothers should do a movie using this song as a script. | |

| Middle-class Hillbilly Mick Jagger tries to dull the pain of his wedding day with alcohol. Suddenly he gets a last minute reprieve. May as well have another drink then! I love the drunken sloppy feel to this song. | |
