Verse 1
A
He was just and old
country doctor in a small Georgia town
E
Fame and fortune had passed him by
but we never saw him frown
As day by day in his kindly way
he served us one and all
A
Many a patient forgot to pay although
Doc's fees were small
But ol' Doc Brown didn't seem to mind
in fact he didn't even send out bills
D
His only ambition it seemed was to find
sure cures for aches and ills
A
Why nearly half the folks in our home town
E
And yes I'm one of them too were
ushered in by ol' Doc Brown
A
Bm
A
When we made our first
D
debaut ah he needed his dimes
And there were times
he'd receive a fee
Em
But he would pass it on to some poor soul
A
that he said needed it worse than he
Em
So when hard times hit our town and
A
drained each meager purse
Am
D
The scanty income of Ol' Doc Brown
Em
A
just went from bad to worse
D
He had to sell his furniture why he couldn't
even pay his office rent
G
And so to an old dusty room over a liberty
Gm
stable Ol' Doc Brown and his satchel went
D
On the hitching post at the curb
A
below to advertise his wares
D
He nailed up a little sign that read "Doc
Em
Brown has moved up stairs"
D
G
And there he kept on helping people
get well and his heart was pure gold
D
But anyone with eyes could see
that Doc was getting old
Then one day he didn't even answer when
A

D
they knocked upon his door
Daug
G
Ol' Doc Brown was lying down but
D
G
his life was no more
They found him there in his old black suit but
on his face was a smile of contentment
C
Am
But all the money they could find on him was
C
a quarter and one ol' copper cent
G
So they opened up his ledger and what they
D
saw gave their hearts a pull
G
Cause beside each debtor's name Ol'
C
Doc had written "Paid in full"
Well it looked like the potter's field for Doc
and that caused us some alarm
Dm
'Till some one remembered the family
G
graveyard out on the Simmon's farm
Gm
Ol' Doc had brought six of their kids in to this
G
world and Simmons was a grateful cuss
C
He said "Doc been like one of the family
Dm
G
so he can sleep with us."
C
Ol' Doc Brown should have had a
funeral fine enough for a king
F
It's a ghastly joke that our town was broke
Fm
and no one could give a thing
Except Jones the undertaker
C
he did mighty well
G
He donated an old iron casket he'd
C
Dm
C
never been able to sell
F
C
F
And the funeral procession well it wasn't
much for grace and pomp and style
C
Gm
C
But those wagonloads of mourners
they stretched out for more than a mile
And we breathed a prayer as we laid him
there to rest beneath the sod
F
This man who had earned the right to be
on speaking terms with God
His grave was covered with flowers
Gsus4
but not from the floral shop
F
Bb
Just roses and things from folks gardens
and one or two dandelion tops
C
For times had hit our town hard
and each man carried a load
F
So some just picked the wild flowers as

they passed along the way
F#
We wanted to give Doc a monument
we kind of figured we owed him one
G#m
Cause he had made our town a better place
C#
for all the good he had done
G#m
But monuments cost money so we just
C#
did the best we could
F#
And on his grave we just placed
G#m
C#
a monument of wood
F#
We pulled up that old hitching post
where Doc had nailed his sign
B
We painted it white and to all of
us it surely did look fine
C#
Now the rains and snow has washed away
our white trimmings of paint
And there ain't nothing left but Doc's old
F#
sign and even that's getting faint
D#m
F#
And still when southern breezes and
twinkling stars cross our little town
B
And pail moonlight shines through Georgia
D
pines on the grave of Ol' Doc Brown
C#
You can still see that old hitching post
as if in answer to our prayers
Proudly telling the whole wide world Doc
Brown has moved up stairs

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
