Rolling Stones - Mothers Little Helper

INTRO:
C Am D Em
What a drag it is getting old

RIFF: -- 2x`s

PLAY ON HIGH E STRING ---0--2--2/3----3--2--0----

VERSE:
Em
"Kids are different today,"
I hear every mother say
F
Mother needs something today to calm her down
G
And though she`s not really ill
C
There`s a little yellow pill

BREAK:
Am Asus2
She goes running for the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother`s little helper
Em
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day -- RIFF: -- 2x`s

 

VERSE:
"Things are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband`s just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak

BREAK:
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother`s little helper
And to help her on her way
Get her through her busy day

CHORUS:
C
Doctor please
D
Some more of these
G
Outside the door
C
She took four more
Am D Em -- RIFF: -- 1x
What a drag it is getting old

VERSE:
"Men just aren`t the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don`t appreciate that you get tired
They`re so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilise your mind

BREAK:
So go running for the shelter
Of a mother`s little helper
And for to help you through the night
Help to minimise your plight

CHORUS:
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old

VERSE:
"Life`s just much too hard today,"
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose

BREAK:
No more running to the shelter
Of a mother`s little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day

OUTRO:
RIFF -- 2x`s THEN G C G G
HEY!
