Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne
Doctor My Eyes
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G B7sus4 Em
Doctor my eyes have seen the years
G B7 Em
And the slow parade of fears without crying
C G
Now I want to understand
B7sus4 Em
I have done all that I could
G B7 Em
To see the evil and the good without hiding
C G
You must help me if you can
[Chorus]
G C G D
Doctor my eyes, tell me what is wrong
B7sus4 Em
Was I unwise,
G C
To leave them open for so long
[Verse 2]
G B7sus4 Em
As I have wandered through this world
G B7 Em
And as each moment has unfurled I've been waiting
C G
To awaken from these dreams
B7sus4 Em
People go just where they will
G B7 Em
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
C G
That it's later than it seems
[Chorus]
G C G D
Doctor my eyes, tell me what you see
B7sus4 Em
I hear their cries,
G N.C. C
Just say if it's too late for me
(Instrumental Interlude)
[Chorus]
G C G D
Doctor my eyes, they cannot see the sky
B7sus4 Em
Is this the price,
G N.C. C
For having learned how not to cry
(Instrumental, fade out)

version 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
Key: F
Capo on 1 (but sounds fine without) - accentuate the low E string after single strums of the chords
Mix A4 and A between 002230 and 002220 and 077700 and 077600. A in the verse sounds best as a barre chord.
