Chad Mitchell Trio – The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud chords

[Intro]
(Spoken:)
N.C.Now we'd like to tell you the story of probably the grandfather of all
N.C.modern day psychoanalysts, the great Doctor Sigmund Freud.

[Verse]
G                                  CWell, it started in Vienna not so many years ago
G                                   D7When not enough folks were getting sick
G                                         CThat a starving young physician tried to better his position
G                    D7                GBy discovering what made his patients tick
G                                  CHe forgot about sclerosis and invented the psychosis
G                                    D7And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed
G                         CHe adopted as his credo "down repression up libido!"
G                D7                      GAnd that was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Chorus]
GWell, Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud), oh Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud)
G                                     D7How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            CBut the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              GOf the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Verse]
G                                   CWell, he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines
G                          D7Substituted monologue for pills
G                                          CHe drew crowds just like Will Sadler, when along came Jung and Adler
G                D7                      GAnd they said by God, there's gold in them darn' ills!
G                                          CThey encountered no resistance, when they served as Freud's assistants
G                                   D7As with ego and with id they deftly toyed
G                                         CBut instead of toting bedpans, they wore analytic deadpans
G                D7                      GThose ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud!

[Chorus]
GWell, Doctor Freud, (Doctor Freud), goes marching in (goes marching in?)
G                                     D7How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            CBut the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              GOf the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Verse]
G                                  CNow the big three have departed, but not so the code the started
G                                     D7No, it's being carried on by a goodly band
G                                             CAnd to trauma shock and more shock, someone's gone and added Rorschach
G                         D7                 GAnd the whole thing's got completely out of hand!
G                                  CSo old boys with double chinsies, and a thousand would-be Kinseys
G                                   D7They discuss it at the drop of a repression
G                                         CAnd I wouldn't be complaining, but for all the loot I'm paying
G                        D7              GJust to lie on someone's couch and say confession?

[Chorus]
GWell, Doctor Freud (cha cha cha), oh Doctor Freud (cha cha cha)
G                                     D7How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            CBut the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              GOf the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Outro]
 (Soft, slow and sweet)
       G                            CBut the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              GOf the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud, cha cha cha
