The Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper: chords

 C      Am     D          Em
What a drag it is getting old
  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

          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

"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

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
What a drag it is getting old

"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

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

"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

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