		Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of day  Db
Another bottle's empty
Another penny spent  Ab
He turned around and he slowly walked away  Db
They shot him in the back and down he went  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brighDbt, roll on John   Ab
From the Liverpool docks to the red light Hamburg streets  Db
Down in the quarry with the Quarrymen. Ab
Playing to the big crowds Playing to the cheap seats  Db
Another day in your life until your journey's end  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
Sailing through the tradewinds
Bound for the sun  Db
Rags on your back just like any other slave  Ab
They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth  Db
Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
I heard the news today, oh boy  Db
They hauled your ship up on the shore  Ab
Now the city's gone dark
There is no more joy  Db
They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
Put on your bags and get 'em packed.  Db
Leave right now you won't be far from hine  Ab
The sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back  Db
You've been cooped up on an island far too long  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
Slow down you're moving too fast  Db
Come together right now over me  Ab
Your bones are weary
You're about to breathe your last  Db
Lord, you know how hard that it can be  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow  Db
Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam  Ab
They'll trap you in an ambush before you know  Ab
Too late now to sail back home  Db
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John  Ab
Tyger, Tyger burning bright  Db
I pray the lord my soul to keAbep In the forest of the night  Db
Cover him over and let him sleep  Ab
Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John. Ab
Outro: Db Ab Db Ab Db Ab ... (Fade out)
