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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brigh[Db]t, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, 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 lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, roll on John[Ab]
Tyger, Tyger burning bright[Db]
I pray the lord my soul to ke[Ab]ep In the forest of the night[Db]
Cover him over and let him sleep[Ab]
Shine your lig[Db]ht, move it [Eb]on, you burn so brig[Db]ht, roll on John.[Ab]
