Am Em Am Am Em Am Am Am

♫ Verse 1:
      Am            Am          Am       Am
I'm a young married man that is tired of life
    G               G        F        C    C
Ten years I've been wed to a sic-k-ly wife
         Am         Am       Am           G
She does nothin all day only sit down and cry
        Am           G           Em            Am  Am
And she prays out to heaven that soon she will die

♫ Chorus:
Am         Am         Am      Am
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
     G         G         F           C      C
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
    Am           Am            Am          G
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil
      Am              G             Em        Am  Am Am
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil

♫ Verse 2:
       Am           Am          Am         Am
Well a friend of me own came to see me one day
   G          G           F      C    C
He told me my darling was pining away
   Am         Am           Am            G
He afterwards told me that she would get strong
     Am         G           Em      Am   Am
If I only get a bottle from dear Dr John

♫ Chorus:
Am         Am         Am      Am
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
     G         G         F           C      C
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
    Am           Am            Am          G
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil
      Am              G             Em        Am  Am Am
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil

♫ Verse 3:
       Am          Am          Am        Am
It was then that I purchased a bottle to try
    G            G              F               C   C
The way that she drank it you'd think she might die
       Am          Am          Am           G
Then I bought her another, and vanished the same
      Am             G         Em         Am    Am
Oh me wife she's got cod liver oil on the brain

♫ Chorus:
Am         Am         Am      Am
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
     G         G         F           C      C
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
    Am           Am            Am          G
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil
      Am              G             Em        Am  Am Am
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil

♫ Verse 4:
       Am         Am        Am         Am
Now me house it resembles a medicine shoppe
     G            G            F         C   C
It's covered with bottles from bottom to top
    Am          Am           Am            G
And then in the morning when the kettle do boil
    Am           G          Em        Am  Am
I'd swear it was singing of cod liver oil

♫ Chorus:
Am         Am         Am      Am
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
     G         G         F           C      C
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
    Am           Am            Am          G
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil
      Am              G             Em        Am  Am Am
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil
