Rolling Stones – Mother’s Little Helper

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

RIFF: -- 2x`s
e---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!
