[Verse 1]

         E*                                               E*
Call the doctor pretty baby, you know I'm near to my last breath
             E*                                           E*
You'd better hurry now honey, or you're gonna be my death
             E*                                                   E*
You'd better throw away the spoons and all the other dirty things
              E*                                                            E*    E*
'Cos when the law arrives this evening, I don't think they'll wait and ring

         E*                                                   E*
Call the doctor pretty baby, tell him he's gotta rush and run
       E*                                                     E*
'Cos I think I've had too much babe, tell him it ain't no fun

Hey there's the door now pretty baby, see who's on the other side
             E*                                                      E*
Tell them to back up with the wagon now I think I'm going for a ride

            E*                                               E*
Tell them I did it to myself babe, and I lived a life of sin
          E*                                                           E*
Tell them black ain't always white babe, and without sure ain't within
