Chords for The Doctor / He Said, She Said - Loudon Wainwright III

[A] _ _ [C] I went to the doctor and the doctor said,
son, you look older [F] than me and I'm 71. _
[C] _ You're falling apart.
_ [G] You're not living right.
_ _ [B] _ _ I [C] went to the doctor and the doctor said,
loud, you [C] got to stop hanging out with [F] that olding [C] crowd.
_ [G] Living's a battle, yeah, and you're losing [C] the fight.
[G] _ _
_ _ [Gm] [C] I went to the doctor and the doctor said,
boy, your body [F] is a temple.
It's not a toy. _
[C] _ _ Fill up this here paper [G] cup and give it to the nurse.
_ _ _ Don't spill [C] it.
Can't keep you down.
Doctor said, friend, [F] this should be the middle,
but it could be the end.
You better get [G] better or else you're going to [C] get worse.
OK, here's a sing-along part.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [F] I went [C] to the doctor.
Let me hear you sing it now.
_ [Am] Ah, ah, ah, [F] ah, ah, ah.
I went to [C] the doctor.
That's [G] pretty anemic, I want to tell you. _
I [C] went to the doctor and the doctor said,
sir, we got back the [F] x-ray.
_ _ Everything's a blur, [C] _ but it's all positive.
That's what every single test [G] shows. _ _
[D] _ _ [Bm] _ [C] I went to the doctor.
Doctor said, [F] kid, it was something that you ate or drank
or something that you [C] did.
And it's all in your [G] head, but it's spreading on down to [C] your toes.
_ _ [G] _ I'm going to spread it around now.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
OK, we're going to sing the [G] chorus now.
Let's get those people over in Holland [C] really excited, shall we?
Everybody, pretend I'm Pete Seeger.
Here we go.
[Am] Ah, ah, [F] ah, ah, ah, ah.
I went [C] to the doctor. _ _
_ Love it in Belgium.
[Am] Ah, [F] ah, _
_ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ ah, ah, ah, ah.
I went to the doctor and the doctor said,
please get on down to [F] the drugstore and pick up some of these.
[C] _ After that, get on home and get [G] into your bed.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] I went to the doctor.
Doctor said, shucks, [F] that's just about all.
You owe me 300 [C] bucks.
You can call me in the morning, that is, if you're not there. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All right, good.
[D] Throughout the whole 25 years, which is what it's been,
I've always written about where I am in my life.
And now _ I'm _ _ 46, and _ I'm writing about that.
Speaking of doctors, I want to do some songs about sex now.
_ _ _ [B] Somehow I relate the two things.
I've developed a style, a way of playing the guitar,
and a way of singing which helps me sing and performing.
I've seen it, I've seen myself on television.
It's kind of disgusting.
Why?
Well, the way that I perform, you know.
The way that I move and stick my tongue out and everything like that.
A list of your lessons.
Yeah, yeah.
_ _ But in the beginning that started because I think I was afraid.
I'd just close my eyes and started to make these faces
just to kind of get the songs out and get into it.
And then I noticed that audiences would kind of react to it.
And so I exaggerated it.
Sex is kind of a surgical procedure if you _ think about it.
[D#m] _ _ _ _ She knows what I'm talking about.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ She was trying to get in the talk to her _
_ [F#] While they were doing the deed _ _
[F#m] _ _ [D#m] He said, baby, I'm the strong and the [C#] silent type
_ _ She said, [F#] that's not what I need _
_ _ [Bm] Please do [F#] not speak softly, she said
[D] When [F#m] carrying your [C#] stick _
He [D#m] said, _ action can [B] speak louder
[B] She [D#m] _ [B] said, it [F#] don't do the trick
She [D#m] _ _ was all [B] over him in the end
He [D#m] _ [F#] said, baby, you don't understand _
Just [D#m] _ about once a night I'm alright
But [A] _ [B] I'm not much of a [F#] morning man
_ _ [D] _ I'm not [F#] quite awake yet
He [D] said, I could [F#m] use a [C#] cup
She [D#m] said, how about a loving spoonful
[B] _ Darling, _ _ [F#m] that might get [F#] you up
Oh, [D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] the other night she was [B] biting him
_ _ [F#] While they were doing it in the dark
_ _ _ [D#m] He said, [B] what are you, some kind of a vampire, baby?
[F#m] _ [F#] She said, I just love to leave my mark
_ [D] _ Maybe it's [F#] a tendency, she said
[D] I hope it's just a [C#] phase
_ _ [A#m] _ You can't [Bm] be too careful
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [F#] With these diseases these days
_ _ _ [D#m] _ She was trying to [B] get him to spank her
_ _ _ [F#] She said, it feels so fine
_ _ [A#] He said, I'm not that kind of [B] a man, baby
_ _ [A#m] _ [C#] I swear I draw the [F#] line _
And [D] then she said, [B] you can draw the [F#] line there
You [D] can draw a [F#m] circle, [C#] draw a square
_ _ [D#m] I don't mind a [B] parallelogram, _ darling
_ Just put your pencil there _
_ _ [D#m] I don't mind a [B] rhomboid, darling
_ _ [D#m] _ [F#] Put your pencil there _
