Verse 1
Dm
G
He was just an old country doctor
Dm
in a little Kentucky town,
G
B
And fame and fortune had passed him by,
C
but we never saw him frown.
As day by day, in his kindly way,
G
he served us one and all,
many a patient forgot to pay,
D
although Doc's fees were small.
G
And he needed his dimes,
and yet every time he received a fee,
well he'd pass it on to some poor soul
C
that needed it more than he.
He had to sell his furniture,
D
because he couldn't pay his office rent.
G
So to a dusty room over the livery stable
C
He and his old satchel went
G
And on the hitching post on the curb
F
He nailed a little sign
C
that said Doc Brown has
G
C
moved upstairs
Then one day he didn't answer
Dm
When they knocked upon his door
G
Old Doc was lyin' down,
Dm
G
but his soul was no more.
They found him there in
C
and on his face was a smile of content.
But all the money they could find on him
G
was just a quarter and a copper cent.
D
So they opened up his ledger,
G
and what they saw gave their hearts a pull.
For beside each dater's name,
Old Doc had written these words.
Old Doc should have had a funeral
G
But it was a ghastly joke
The whole town was broke
C
And nobody could give a thing
G
Except old Caleb Jones, the undertaker
F
C
He donated an old iron casket
He'd never been able to sell
G
And that funeral procession
C
Well, it wasn't much for grace,
pomp, and style
Dm
But those wagonloads
Dm
stretched out for more than a mile
G
B
We wanted to give old Doc a monument
C
Kind of figured we owed him one
Cause he'd made our town
a better place to live for all
So we pulled up that old hitching post
D
where Doc had nailed his sign
And we painted it white,
G
and to all of us it certainly did look fine
And now the rains and snows
have washed away
our white trim and paint
C
And there ain't nothin'
left but Doc's old sign
Dm
D
And that's gettin' kinda faint
G
But you can still see that old hitchin' post
C
As if an answer to our prayers
G
C
Mutely tellin' the whole wide world
F
C
Old Doc Brown has moved upstairs.
