I was [F] feeling [C] kinda poorly, and I hadn't been looking too fine.
I just had to find [Am] out [D] what was ailing this body [G] of mine.
[C] So I went to my family doctor [F] to get my temperature and set me [C] straight.
And the first thing he [Am] did was to tell me to quit [D] eating every good thing I ate.
Well, [C] it didn't fool me, I had to stop smoking, lay off of that beer and whiskey.
He said, you need [Am] all the help you can get, my friend, and [C] confidentially.

He said, if you don't live [Am] life, son, you gonna die of [C] cholesterol constriction.
