The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud chords by Chad Mitchell Trio

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
(Spoken:)

N.C.
Now we'd like to tell you the story of probably the grandfather of all

N.C.
modern day psychoanalysts, the great Doctor Sigmund Freud.

Verse:

G+G                 C majorC
Well, it started in Vienna not so many years ago

G+G                  D7D7
When not enough folks were getting sick

G+G                     C majorC
That a starving young physician tried to better his position

G+G          D7D7        G+G
By discovering what made his patients tick

G+G                 C majorC
He forgot about sclerosis and invented the psychosis

G+G                  D7D7
And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed

G+G             C majorC
He adopted as his credo "down repression up libido!"

G+G        D7D7           G+G
And that was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud

Chorus:

G+G
Well, Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud), oh Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud)

G+G                   D7D7
How we wish you had been differently employed

    G+G              C majorC
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances

    G+G      D7D7       G+G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

Verse:

G+G                  C majorC
Well, he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines

G+G             D7D7
Substituted monologue for pills

G+G                     C majorC
He drew crowds just like Will Sadler, when along came Jung and Adler

G+G        D7D7           G+G
And they said by God, there's gold in them darn' ills!

G+G                     C majorC
They encountered no resistance, when they served as Freud's assistants

G+G                  D7D7
As with ego and with id they deftly toyed

G+G                     C majorC
But instead of toting bedpans, they wore analytic deadpans

G+G        D7D7           G+G
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud!

Chorus:

G+G
Well, Doctor Freud, (Doctor Freud), goes marching in (goes marching in?)

G+G                   D7D7
How we wish you had been differently employed

    G+G              C majorC
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances

    G+G      D7D7       G+G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

Verse:

G+G                 C majorC
Now the big three have departed, but not so the code the started

G+G                   D7D7
No, it's being carried on by a goodly band

G+G                       C majorC
And to trauma shock and more shock, someone's gone and added Rorschach

G+G             D7D7         G+G
And the whole thing's got completely out of hand!

G+G                 C majorC
So old boys with double chinsies, and a thousand would-be Kinseys

G+G                  D7D7
They discuss it at the drop of a repression

G+G                     C majorC
And I wouldn't be complaining, but for all the loot I'm paying

G+G            D7D7       G+G
Just to lie on someone's couch and say confession?

Chorus:

G+G
Well, Doctor Freud (cha cha cha), oh Doctor Freud (cha cha cha)

G+G                   D7D7
How we wish you had been differently employed

    G+G              C majorC
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances

    G+G      D7D7       G+G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

Outro:
 (Soft, slow and sweet)

    G+G              C majorC
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances

    G+G      D7D7       G+G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud, cha cha cha
