Capo on 1st fret
 
[Intro]

optional-D/E as 077700 and A/E as 077600
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
E
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
             G#m                      C#m
And the slow parade of fears without crying
       A         E
Now I want to understand
E                                       G#m
I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good
        C#m               A              E
without hiding.  You must help me if you can
 
[Chorus]
           C#m   E
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong
        C#m                 B             A
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
 
E          D/E  A/E  E
 
[Verse 2]
              E
'Cause I have wandered through this world
             G#m                            C#m
And as each moment has unfurled,  I've been waiting
       A              E
to awaken from these dreams
E                                        G#m
People go just where they will,  I never noticed them until
           C#m                A             E
I got this feeling, that it's later than it seems
 
[Chorus]
           C#m   E
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see
             C#m          B              D/E**  A
I hear their cries, just say if it's too late for me
 
 
[Instrumental break]
(E        D/E       A/E     E      repeat)
 
[Chorus]
           C#m        E
Doctor, my eyes, they cannot see the sky
            C#m              B                  A
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry
 
E           D/E  A/E  E

Capo on the 1st Fret, it's right in key. Although it's actually easier to play without the Capo in the Key of F, all of the chords seem correct.

Thanks for the great job. Love this song! For me and my fat fingers, for the D/E -> A/E, 002230 -> 002220 sounds nearly as good as 077700 -> 077600 and is a lot easier to play. Both sound much better than 000232 -> 002220 to my ear. As always, YMMV.
