The Dubliners – Cod Liver Oil (Guitar)

     Am                                                 
Im a young married man and Im tired of my life,

     Em
For lately I married an ailing old wife;

        Am                    C        G
She does nothing all day home she does sigh,

      Am                       Em         Am
And I wish to the Lord that I only could die.

Am
O Doctor, O Doctor, O dear Doctor John,

     Em
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong;

     Am                       C           G
Im a-fraid of me life, Ill go down in the soil,

      Am                         Em        Am
If me wife comes a-drinking your cod liver oil.

       Am
Well, a friend of me own came to see me one day,

       Em
And he told me my wife was just pining away;

       Am                C              G
And he also told me that she would get strong,

   Am                      Em          Am
If I buy her a bottle from dear Doctor John.

Am
O Doctor, O Doctor, O dear Doctor John,

     Em
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong;

     Am                       C           G
Im a-fraid of me life, Ill go down in the soil,

      Am                         Em        Am
If me wife comes a-drinking your cod liver oil.

       Am
I bought her a bottle, twas just for a try,

       Em
And the way that she drank it, youd swear she was dry;

  Am                      C            G
I bought her another, it went just the same,

    Am                        Em          Am
And I know shes got cod liver oil on the brain.

Am
O Doctor, O Doctor, O dear Doctor John,

     Em
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong;

     Am                       C           G
Im a-fraid of me life, Ill go down in the soil,

      Am                         Em        Am
If me wife comes a-drinking your cod liver oil.

    Am
My house it resembles a big doctors shop,

    Em
With bottles and bottles from bottom to top;

    Am                       C         G
And when in the morning the kettle do boil,

           Am                        Em        Am
You would swear we were singing bout cod liver oil.

Am
O Doctor, O Doctor, O dear Doctor John,

     Em
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong;

     Am                       C           G
Im a-fraid of me life, Ill go down in the soil,

      Am                         Em        Am
If me wife comes a-drinking your cod liver oil.
