Mother's Little Helper (midi)

Dm G Am

1. What a drag it is getting old.

"Kids are different today,"I hear ev'ry mother say,

G

mother needs something today to calm her down,

C F Dm

and though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill,

G

she goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

Am

and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

Am

2. "Things are different today," I hear ev'ry mother say,

G

cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag.

C F Dm

So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak,

G

and goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,

Am

and two help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

F G C

Doctor, please, some more of these, outside the door,

F Dm Am

she took four more, what a drag it is getting old.

Am

3. "Men just aren't the same today," I hear ev'ry mother say,

G

they just don't appreciate that you get tired,

C F Dm

they're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilise your mind,

G

so go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

a

and four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight.

+ CHORUS

Am

4. Life's just much too hard today," I hear ev'ry mother say,

G

the pursuit of happiness just seems a bore,

C F Dm

and if you take more of those, you will get an overdose,

G

no more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper

Am

they just helped you on your way through your busy dying day.

+ CHORUS
