Intro:
C, Bb F, C
Bb F,
Verse 1:
C
Doctor my eyes,
Have seen the years,
Em
And the slow,
Parade of fears,
F
Without crying,
Now I want,
C
To under-stand.
C
I have done,
All that I could,
Em
To see the evil,
And the good,
F
Without hiding,
You must help me,
If you can.
Chorus 1:
Am
Doctor my eyes,
(Eyes, eyes),
C
Tell me what is wrong.
Am
Was I un-wise,
G (n.C)
To leave them open,
F
For so long?
C
(Yeah) Yeah.
F
('Cos I have)...
Verse 2:
C
As I have wandered,
Through this world,
Em
And as each moment,
Has unfurled,
F
I've been waiting,
To awaken,
C
From these dreams.
C
People go,
Just where they will,
Em
I never noticed,
Them until,
F
I got this feeling,
That it's later,
C
Than it seems.
Chorus 2:
Am
Doctor my eyes,
(Eyes, eyes),
C
Tell me what you see.
Am
I hear their cries,
(Cries, cries),

Just say if it's,

Too late for me.

Oh yeah,
C
Oh baby, baby.

Doctor my eyes,

Is this the prize,

For having learned,

How not to cry?
C
Yeah.

About artist:
Signed to the Motown label from 1968 to 1975, and to Epic/CBS Records (as "The Jacksons") from 1975 until their disbanding in 1990, the Jackson 5 were one of the most popular groups of the era and became the first recording act to have their first four major label singles ("I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There") reach the top of the American charts. Several future singles, among them "Mama's Pearl", "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Dancing Machine", were Top 5 pop hits and number-one hits on the R&B singles chart. Most of the early hits were written and produced by a specialized songwriting team known as "The Corporation"; later Jackson 5 hits were crafted chiefly by Hal Davis.
Significantly, they were the first black teen idols to appeal equally to white audiences. Upon their departure from Motown for CBS in 1975, the Jacksons were forced to change their name and replace Jermaine (who remained at Motown) with younger brother Randy. The group took control of their songwriting, production, and image, and their success continued into the 1980s with hits such as "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "State of Shock", and the highly successful Victory Tour. The Jacksons officially disbanded in 1990, after the commercial underperformance of their 1989 album 2300 Jackson Street, recorded mostly without Michael and Marlon.
