[Verse 1]
F C
Take me down to the infirmary
Dm F A# G
lay me down on cotton sheets
F C
put a damp cloth on my forehead
F A# F
lay me down, let me sleep
[Chorus]
C Dm F A#
I know the whiskey won't soothe my soul
F C
And the morphine won't heal my heart
Dm A#
but if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yea
F A# F
I won't have to sleep, or drink alone
[Verse 2]
F C
So, take me down to the infirmary
Dm F A# G
Walk a sound that's as blue as her eyes
F C
Oh, sister Magdalene won't you fetch the doctor's flask
F A# F
He is going to need a steady, a steady hand
[Solo]
