VERSE 1
D G
My mate said don't get on that horse, he's made a fool of better men than you
A D
But I was young and foolish not to mention being stubborn like a mule
D G
One second I was in the air, next I was feet up kissin' dirt
A D
Through the haze I heard a voice say 'Bring a doctor I think the boy is hurt'
D G D
Doctor, the light is growing dim
G D A
And I've heard it calling from the other side
D G D
Doctor there's so much I haven't done
G D A
And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky's eyes
D
Oh Doctor I'm too young to die
VERSE 2
D G
They took me to a shady spot and the Doctor took one look and softly spoke
A D
'There's really nothing I can do, bring his Mother I think his back is broke'
D G
It was then I heard a voice say something about a good for nothing son
A D
Why'd you go and do a thing like that bring the preacher I think his time has come
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
D G
Then darkness fell around me and up ahead the pearly gates came into view
A D
Saint Peter said 'Hey cowboy c'mon in, we've been expecting you'
CHORUS 2
D G D
But I said Doctor the light is growing dim
G D A
and I've heard a calling from the other side
D G D
Doctor there's so much I haven't done
G D A
And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky's eyes
D G D G D A
But I said Doctor the light is growing dim
D G D G D A
Doctor there's so much I haven't done
A D
Doctor I'm too young to die
