[Verse]
They call me dCoc but I ain’t got no degree
When shit hits the fFan they’re calling for me
From bluegrass CKentucky with red blood on my hands
Nobody calls me Fhero except for my friends
[Bridge]
I Amwoke up from dreams
To find out thGey were real
I can tell Fyou how it looks but I can’t tell you how it feels
[Chorus]
I’ve seen Cit all, helped heroes wAmho fall
Picked them Gup till they stood Ftall
I’ve been in the Cfield, worked down to the Ambone
Made sure Gall my brothers get back Fhome
I’ve shaAmred the smiles, I’ve shed the tears,
GSwore they’d make it out of here
FWhen they screamed, please make it stop
[Verse 2]
They called me Cdoc, they all know my name
It’s stitched on my Fchest and it hangs from this chain
You won’t read it in thCe paper or see it on TV
But I don’t need no fame, that’s finFe by me
[Bridge]
When they’rAme broke and bruised
GI know what I do
FMy job always starts when their job is through
[Chorus]
I’ve seen iCt all, helped heroes whAmo fall
Picked them Gup till they stood Ftall
I’ve been in the Cfield, worked down to the Ambone
Made sure aGll my brothers get back Fhome
I’ve shaAmred the smiles, I’ve shed the tears,
GSwore they’d make it out of here
FWhen they screamed, please make it stop

From bluegrass CKentucky with red blood on my hands

[Intro]

C F

[Verse]

They call me doc but I ain’t got no degree

When shit hits the fan they’re calling for me

From bluegrass Kentucky with red blood on my hands

Nobody calls me hero except for my friends

[Bridge]

I woke up from dreams

To find out they were real

I can tell you how it looks but I can’t tell you how it feels

[Chorus]

C Am

I’ve seen it all, helped heroes who fall

G F

Picked them up till they stood tall

C Am

I’ve been in the field, worked down to the bone

G F

Made sure all my brothers get back home

I’ve shared the smiles, I’ve shed the tears,

Swore they’d make it out of here

When they screamed, please make it stop

[Verse 2]

They called me doc, they all know my name

It’s stitched on my chest and it hangs from this chain

You won’t read it in the paper or see it on TV

But I don’t need no fame, that’s fine by me

[Bridge]

When they’re broke and bruised

I know what I do

My job always starts when their job is through

[Chorus]

C Am

I’ve seen it all, helped heroes who fall

G F

Picked them up till they stood tall

C Am

I’ve been in the field, worked down to the bone

G F

Made sure all my brothers get back home

I’ve shared the smiles, I’ve shed the tears,

Swore they’d make it out of here

When they screamed, please make it stop

C Am

They call me doc

G F

Ya, they call me doc

C Am G F

You will never know the heartache,

looking a grown man in the eye

F G

When he asked “will I make it” and you’ve got to lie

[Verse 3]

They call me doc, I ain’t got no degree

When shit hits the fan, they’re calling for me

From bluegrass Kentucky with red blood on my hands

Nobody calls me hero except for my friends

Ya, they call me doc
