A5
Monday the twenty-sixth of March
Bb5                                                        D5                      F5
The patient's passing seizures are becoming more pronounced by the day
A5
The underlying cause
Bb5                            D5           F5
Seems to be some slow progressive decay
A5
If I don't find a cure
Bb5                                D5       F5
I fear my patient must surely fade away
C5                 C#5
But I swear I'll apply my science
C5                  C#5
To the cause, brooking no defiance
C5                   C#5
I'll deliver her from this malady
D5                    Ab5
She'll dance again
Eb5                           E5
And I'll never forget when we first were courting
Eb5                           E5
And she faced me, and her eyes were gleaming
Eb5                       E5
In the moonlight, and she spoke so sweetly

(Refr?o)

F5                   A5
Don't let me go, my darling
F5                    A5
Hold me safely 'til the morning
F5                   A5
Promise, when the lights are fading
F5                    A5
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...
