The Doctor Lyrics

The Doobie Brothers

{ E } MUSIC IS THE DOCTOR Doobie Bros.
{ 2 phrase }, { drums with bass thumps }, { 2 phrase }
Well I'm a man who lives in the city
I'm a man who lives in the street
Well if they lay you up in Frisco Bay
Any where in between
Well coast to coast there's a craze here
Everybody's always asking me
People want to know every where I go
What can the answer be, I tell them
(( Music is the doctor ))
It makes you (( feel like you want to ))
They got to (( listen to the doctor ))
Just (( like you want to ))
Music is the doctor, (( oh my soul )) { C# E Eb }
{ short 2 phrase guitar solo }
Well the things that when I tell
and I'm out there on the rope
The freedom I need is the freedom I leave
and my good time rock'n'roll
There's a kid in those guitars
and a spirit in the soul
No matter what the mission your rhythm is in
The message goes on and on
(( Music is the doctor ))
It makes you (( feel like you want to ))
So (( listen to the doctor ))
Girl (( like you want to ))
I said music is the doctor, (( oh my soul )) { C# E Eb }
If you've ever wondered
Just how to shake your blues
Just follow this perscription
and get the cure for what is ailing you, ya ya yeah
{ 2 phrase }, { guitar solo }
( Music is the doctor ), music is the doctor
( You feel like you want to ), you feel like you want to
( Listen to the doctor ), listen to the doctor
( Like you want to ), just like you want to
( Music is the doctor ), music is the doctor
(( Oh my soul )) { C# E Eb }/
(( Music is the doctor ))
It makes you (( feel like you want to ))
You got to (( listen to the doctor ))
Ya (( like you want to ))
I said music is the doctor, (( oh my soul )) { C# E Eb }
{ 4 phrase, sudden stop } { END }
