The Doctor's Wife

Am
Monday the twenty-sixth of March
Bb                                
The patient's passing seizures are
                        Dm         
 becoming more pronounced by the 
             F
day

The underlying cause
Bb                            Dm 
Seems to be some slow progressive
          F
 decay
Am
If I don't find a cure
Bb                                
I fear my patient must surely fade
Dm       F
 away
C                 C#m
But I swear I'll apply my science
C                  C#m
To the cause, brooking no defiance
C                   C#m
I'll deliver her from this malady

She'll dance again
Eb                           Em
And I'll never forget when we first 
were courting
Eb                           Em
And she faced me, and her eyes were 
gleaming
Eb                       Em
In the moonlight, and she spoke so 
sweetly

F                   Am
Don't let me go, my darling
F                    Am
Hold me safely 'til the morning
F                   Am
Promise, when the lights are fading
F                    Am
You'll save me.

(Doctor)
Tuesday the seventeenth of May
A worrying symptom has reared its 
head this week
She's been bedbound for a month
And now the patient is no longer 
able to speak
She tries to utter sounds
But the grip of the illness is 
strong and the patient is weak
On the bed, in a cold sweat
Like a corpse, but she'll live yet
When I find the cure, I can surely 
promise
She'll laugh again
As she did on our wedding day
When we danced, and laughed the 
world away
Even now I can hear her say

Don't let me go...
