F             C
Take me down to the infirmary
       Dm    F              Bb     G
lay me down     on cotton sheets
      F                C
put a damp cloth on my forehead
       F    Bb        F
lay me down,   let me sleep


[Chorus]
C                        Dm        F    Bb
I know the whiskey won't soothe my soul
                               F     C
And the morphine won't heal my heart
                               Dm            Bb
but if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yea
                F      Bb          F
I won't have to sleep,    or drink alone


[Verse 2]
             F            C
So, take me down to the infirmary
       Dm              F           Bb    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         Bb           F
He is going to need a steady, a steady hand


[Solo]
*Verse chords*


[Chorus]
C                        Dm        F    Bb
I know the whiskey won't soothe my soul
                               F     C
And the morphine won't heal my heart
                               Dm            Bb
but if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yea
                F      Bb          F
I won't have to sleep,    or drink alone


[Repeat Verse 1]
        F             C
Take me down to the infirmary
       Dm    F              Bb     G
lay me down     on cotton sheets
      F                C
put a damp cloth on my forehead
       F    Bb        F
lay me down,   let me sleep
       F    Bb        F
lay me down,   let me sleep
