I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR -- JOHN MAYER, "Where The Light Is" (2007) 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] 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!
