Song: I Don't Need No Doctor
Originally By: Ray Charles

None of the tabs found suited me, so I decided to take
the best of each tab and tab the rest.
Sounds pretty good to me compared to the live album
"Where the light is Live"...


Intro/verse:

Hey guys
I thought you should have the right tabs for this awesome song. Here you go!

Intro:

e|-----------0----------------------------------------|
B|--------------3p0---------3p0------2p0--------------|
G|-----0h1------------0-----4p0------2p0---0h1p0h1----|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0---------------------3------(2)------------------|

e|----------0-----------------------------0-----------|
B|-------------3p0----------3-------------------------|
G|-----0h1------------0-----4------/11-------11-------|
D|---------------------------------/12----------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------------------3----------------------------|


Verse:

e|-----------0----------------------------------------|
B|--------------3p0---------3p0------2p0--------------|
G|-----0h1------------0-----4p0------2p0---0h1p0h1----|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0---------------------3------(2)------------------|

e|----------0-------------------------------|
B|-------------3p0----------3p0----2p0------|
G|-----0h1------------0-----4p0----2p0------|
D|--------------------------------------2---|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------------------3------(2)---------|

Now this next part is tabbed as I play it, but John Mayer plays it a bit different, but
worry, it's the exact same chords.

e|------3----3-3-----3\------------------5---7--|
B|------5----5-5-----5\-------3----3-----3---5--|
G|----4---4--5-5-----5\-------0----0-----4---6--|
D|----------------------------4----4------------|
A|-/4--------5-5---5--\----/3----3--------------|
E|-------------------------------------5---7----|

Now play the verse once and then comes the next part.

I just wrote the chords down here, so you can figure out how to play'em yourself,
be too hard ;)

e|--7----5----3----5--|
B|--5----3----3----3--|
G|--6----4----5----4--|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--7----5----3----5--|

There you go, the rest should be easy to figure out yourself. For the solo remember
blue notes ;) Good Luck!

And then another guitar plays this over the top of theses last 4:
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------/11---------------------|
D|-------------------------------/12-9p7h9/-4------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

And then that's pretty much the whole song, except for the solo and some general
improvisation, but that's just effort so just go for the good old fashion E-Minor Pentatonic.
And there you have it.

John Mayer "I Don't Need No Doctor"
"Where The Light Is" Version

Nobody has a spot-on tab so I decided to make my own. This should be
at least 99.9% correct. T means to use your left thumb on the intro.
Also, check out who did you think I was version 4. It is also the "where the
light is version." Please rate and leave comments :)

!!!UPDATE!!! I just finished tabbing the rest of the solo
as of June 17, 2017. The song is finally complete!

I just posted Out of My Mind Where the light is

There's a lot of open strings here. He uses some sort of
pedal that sounds like a wah-wah, phasing, and a tube screamer pedal combined.

measures are played 4 and 1/2 times.

Instead of playing the last measure after playing repeating it 4 and 1/2 times, go straight
from the first measure to here when ready to end the song.

G A E G E G
'Cause I know what's ailing me

I've been too long away from my baby, yeah
A G A E G E G
I'm coming down with a misery

E G
I don't need no doctor
E G
For my prescription to be filled
E G
(I don't need no doctor)
E G

A
No, no, no, I don't need no doctor
G A E G E G
For my prescription to be filled, yeah
B
Only my baby's arms could ever
A G A E G E G
Could ever take away this chill

E
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
