Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show: DOCTOR HOOK


(start with an A)


First Verse


A     D                A
Josie it's been a long hard day
E                             D              A
Down the road to where it's at I must have lost my way
A                     D          A
When I got there they said I was too late
A   E                              A
Now you're the only one can get me straight


Chorus


A                                   D
So won't you sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
E                                 D                   E
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
A                                        D
There's lots of shades of darkness, Josie deep inside a man
E                           A
So sing me a rainbow if you can


Second Verse


A                   D       A
The train I went to meet had come and gone
E                                      D      A
Seems like I spend all my time gettin' off and gettin' on
A                  D             A
I sold my mind and gave my dreams away
A   E                                      A
And tomorrow I'll start lookin' 'round for yesterday


Chorus


A             A                      D
But 'til then sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
E                                 D                   E
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
A                               D
There's lots of kinds of hunger Josie you don't understand
E                           A
So sing me a rainbow if you can
E
If you can, if you can
E                        A
Sing me a rainbow if you can

(end in A D)
