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