Verse 1
(A major) He was just and old
country doctor in a small Georgia town
Fame and for (E major) tune had passed him by
but we never saw him frown
As day by day in his kindly way
he served us one and all
Many a patient forgot to pay (A major) although
Doc's fees were small
But ol' Doc Brown didn't seem to mind
in fact he didn't even send out bills
His only ambition it seemed (D major) was to find
sure cures for aches and ills
Why nearly half the folks in our (A major) home town
And yes I'm one of them too (E major) were
ushered in by ol' Doc Brown
(A major) When we made our first (B minor) (A major)
debaut ah (D major) he needed his dimes
And there were times
he'd receive a fee
But he would pass (E minor) it on to some poor soul
that he said needed (A major) it worse than he
So when hard times (E minor) hit our town and
drained each meager purse (A major)
The scanty income of (A minor) Ol' Doc Brown (D major)
just went from bad to worse (E minor) (A major)
(D major) He had to sell his furniture why he couldn't
even pay his office rent
And so to an old (G major) dusty room over a liberty
stable (G minor) Ol' Doc Brown and his satchel went
(D major) On the hitching post at the curb
below to ad (A major) vertise his wares
He nailed up a little (D major) sign that read "Doc
Brown has moved up stairs" (E minor)
(D major) And (G major) there he kept on helping people
get well and his heart was pure gold
(D major) But anyone with eyes could see
that Doc was getting old
Then one day he didn't even answer when
(A major) they knocked upon (Asus4) his door (D major)
Ol' Doc Brown (Daug) was lying (G major) down but
(D major) his life was no more (G major)
They found him there in his old black suit but
on his face was a smile of contentment
But (C major) all the money they could find (A minor) on him was
(C major) a quarter and one ol' copper cent
So they (G major) opened up his ledger and what they
saw gave (D major) their hearts a pull
Cause beside each (G major) debtor's name Ol'
Doc had written "Paid in full" (C major)
Well it looked like the potter's field for Doc
and that caused us some alarm
(D minor) 'Till some one remembered the family
graveyard out (G major) on the Simmon's farm
Ol' Doc had brought six of their kids (G minor) in to this
world and (G major) Simmons was a grateful cuss
He said (C major) "Doc been like one of the family
so (D minor) he can sleep with us." (G major)
(C major) Ol' Doc Brown should have had a
funeral fine enough for a king
It's a ghastly joke (F major) that our town was broke
and no one could give a thing (F minor)
Except Jones the undertaker
(C major) he did mighty well
He donated an old (G major) iron casket he'd
never been able to sell (C major) (D minor) (C major)
(F major) And the funeral proces (C major) sion well (F major) it wasn't
much for grace and pomp and style
(C major) But those wagonload (G minor) s of mourn (C major) ers
they stretched out for more than a mile
And we breathed a prayer as we laid him
there to rest beneath the sod
This man (F major) who had earned the right to be
on speaking terms with God
His grave was covered with flowers
but not from the floral shop (Gsus4)
(F major) Just (B flat major) roses and things from folks gardens
and one or two dandelion tops
For (C major) times had hit our town hard
and each man carried a load
So some just picked the (F major) wild flowers as
they passed along the way (C sharp major) (B major) (C sharp major)
(F sharp major) We wanted to give Doc a monument
we kind of figured we owed him one
Cause he had made our (G sharp minor) town a better place
for all the good he had done (C sharp major)
But monuments cost (G sharp minor) money so we just
did the best we could (C sharp major)
And on his grave we just (F sharp major) placed
a monument of wood (G sharp minor) (C sharp major)
(F sharp major) We pulled up that old hitching post
where Doc had nailed his sign
We painted it white (B major) and to all of
us it surely did look fine
Now the rains and snow (C sharp major) has washed away
our white trimmings of paint
And there ain't nothing left but Doc's old
(F sharp major) sign and even that's getting faint
(D sharp minor) And still (F sharp major) when southern breezes and
twinkling stars cross our little town
And pail moon (B major) light shines through Georgia
pines on (D major) the grave of Ol' Doc Brown
(C sharp major) 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
(F sharp major) (C sharp major) (B major)
Ol' Doc Brown
