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
