Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Went to my doctor yesterday
  ----ah,
  she said I seem  to be  O.K.
  ----ah,
 She said
"Paul,  you better look around
 How long you think  that you can
Run  that body down?
 How many nights  you think that you  can
 Do what you been do-o-in'
Who,  now who you foolin?"
I  came back home  and  I went  to  bed
Ah, I  was resting my head
 My wife came in  and she said
  D |A "What's wrong, sweet boy, what's wrong?"
 Ah, I  told her what's wrong
 I said "Peg,  you better look around
 How long you think  that you can
Run  that body down?
 How many nights  you think that you  can
 Do what you been do-o-in'
Who-o,  now, who you foolin?"
 "Kid,  you better look around
 How long you think  that you can
Run  that body down?
 How many nights  you think that you  can
 Do what you been do-o-in'
Who-o,  now, who you foolin?"
