                        "Dear Doctor"

                        Rolling Stones

First verse & chorus pattern:


Eb

Eb                                      Ab

Eb                                      Db                 Ab

Eb                  Bb7                 Eb

For these verses:

 Oh help me, please doctor I'm a damaged
      There's a pain where there once was a heart
      It's sleepin, its a beatin'
      Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
      Right there in that jar?

      Oh help me please mama, I'm sickning
      Its today that's the day of the plunge
      Oh the gal I'm to marry
      Is a bow-legged sow
      I've been soakin up drink like a sponge

      "Don't ya worry, get dressed", cried my mother
      As she plied me with bourbon so sour
      Pull your socks up, put your suit on
      comb your long hair down,
      for you will be wed in the hour

      So help me, please doctor I'm damaged
      There's a pain where there once was a heart
      I'm sleepin, its a beatin
      Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve  it
      Right there in that jar?

Then a key-change bridge:


Eb                  Abm                 Cm                 Bbm


Then the verse & chorus pattern for the remainder of the song.
Note the second-last chord now appears to be a IVth, not a Vth.


Ab

Ab                                      Db

Ab                                      Gb                 Db

Ab                  Db                  Ab



      Ohh help me, please doctor I'm damaged
      There's a pain where there once was a heart
      Its sleepin, its a beatin'
      Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve
      Right there in that jar?

      I was tremblin, as I put on my jacket
      It had creases as sharp as a knife
      I put the ring in my pocket
      But there was a note
      And my heart jumped it jumped into my mouth

      It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
      But I have no courage to speak to your face.
      But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
      There be no wedding today."

      So help me, please doctor I'm damaged
      You can put back my heart in its hole
      Oh mamma, I'm cryin
      Tears of relief
      And my pulse is now under control



And the final chord progression:

Ab                  Dbm                 Bb7                Ab7
