Chords

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

        B7           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                      B7           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                B7         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

       B7            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

       B7            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              B7      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       B7     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                    B7    E
And my pulse is now under control
