I Dont Need No Doctor

I DON’T NEED NO DOCTOR -- JOHN MAYER "Where The Light Is" (2007) Exact chords tabbed by ClassicalfreaK best for melodies but I have the main riff’s notes exact. If someone suggests a more reasonable riff tab I would gladly accept it! I am absolutely providing a chord diagram for this one due to the insane chords he uses.  **The beat used in the tabs looks like X-o-X-o-. Capital X’s are the primary beat    (quarter notes the ones you tap your foot to) lowercase x’s are half-beats    (eighth notes twice as fast as your foot) and the dashes in between are for    the swung sixteenth feel of the song. If there is space in between -s that’s for    the intro riff’s trill on the fourth beat the song doesn’t slow down!**  **The "chord - - - " format is used to show what beats to switch chords on   (only when not on tab)** CHORD DIAGRAM: E7      020100     OR  022130 G       320003     OR  3x0003 ("open fifth" voicing) A       x02220 C#m7b5  x42000 (easiest good voicing)     OR  x4545x (might be easier to transition to Dm9) Dm9     x5355x CM7     x32000 Am7     x02010 Bm7     x24232 F#m/B   x24222 Em/A    x02000 Gm7     353333     OR  3x3333 n/c     Play nothing! "n/c" means "no chord" Best of luck to you! John definitely didn’t make this an easy track. =============================================================================== INTRO (Guitar riff) [BPM: 86]                                                                   e||----0-------0-- - |----0------2--02|----0-------0-- - |----0------2--02|    B||-----30--3--2-- - |-----30--3-3----|-----30--3--2-- - |-----30--3-3----|    G||--01---0-50---- - |-------0-5------|--01---0-50---- - |-------0-5------|    D||-----------0--0101|--01------------|-----------0--0101|--01------------|    A||------------0-- - |----------------|------------0-- - |----------------|    E||0-------3------ - |0-------3-------|0-------3------ - |0-------3-------| BEAT: X---X---X---X-- -  X---X---X---X--- X---X---X---X-- -  X---X---X---X---                                                                      (D.S. enters)      **play riff again now with drum beat + bass playing - - - | - - VERSE I I don’t need no doctor ’Cause I know what’s ailing me - - -| - - | - - - |   I don’t need no doctor ’Cause I know what’s ailing me - - - | - - | - - - | - - | I’ve been too long away from my baby yeah I’m coming down with a misery - - - | - - | - - - | - - | VERSE II I don’t need no doctor For my prescription to be filled  (I don’t need no doctor) (I don’t need no doctor)                     C#m7b5  Dm9 No no no I don’t need no doctor For my prescription to be filled yeah - - - | - - | - - - | - - | Only my baby’s arms could ever Could ever take away this chill           (Sx+Tpt enter)             BREAK n/c Now the doctor say I need rest For I need is her tenderness He put me on the critical list When all I need is her sweet kiss He gave me a medicated lotion But it didn’t soothe my emotion yeah INSTRUMENTAL (Trumpet solo): m7b5 - - | - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | m7b5 - - | - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - - - | / - - - | / - | INSTRUMENTAL (Saxophone solo):       - - - | - - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | m7b5 - - | - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - - - | / - - - | / - | - - - | - - | - - - | - - | VERSE III I don’t need no doctor  For my hope to live is gone (I don’t need no doctor) (I don’t need no doctor)                     C#m7b5  Dm9 No no no I  don’t need no doctor For my hope to live is gone - - - | - - | - - - | - - | All I need is my baby please!
