(Shel Silverstein) Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show: DOCTOR HOOK First Verse A D The waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave D E So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out E A I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve A And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head A D And looks at me as though I've blown his mind D E A Hey, I just come here for some coffee...hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time Chorus A D A And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you A E A And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to A D A It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then E A Judy I'm slowly movin' back again E A Judy I'm slowly movin' back again Second Verse A That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new D clothes D E She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink E A She's not the campfire girl you might suppose A But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time A D For any kind of trouble small as mine D E A Hey, I just come in here for nothin'... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time Chorus A D A And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you A E A And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to A D A It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then E A Judy I'm slowly movin' back again E A Judy I'm slowly movin' back again Third Verse B Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along B E your way E F# But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb F# B I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray B But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't B E got a dime E F# Hey, I just come in here to talk to GOD... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's B time Chorus E B And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you B F# B And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to B E B It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then F# B Judy I'm slowly movin' back again F# B Judy I'm slowly movin' back again...
