MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER (Rolling Stones) 

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


          Em   
"Kids are different today," I hear every mother say
                                           F    D7
Mother needs something today to calm her down
             G
And though she's not really ill
           C             Am
There's a little yellow pill


             Am
She goes running for the shelter 
     D7
Of a mother's little helper
        Em
And it helps her on her way

Gets her through her busy day 


            Em
"Things are different today," I hear every mother say
                                            F    D7
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
        G   
So she buys an instant cake 
          C               Am
And she burns her frozen steak


         Am
She goes running for the shelter 
     D7
Of a mother's little helper
        Em
And it helps her on her way

Gets her through her busy day 


        C                   D                 G
Doctor please some more of these outside the door
               C           Am     D          Em
She took four more what a drag it is getting old


          Em
"Men just aren't the same today I hear every mother say
                                         F    D7
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
             G
They're so hard to satisfy
         C                Am
You can tranquilise your mind


       Am                          D7 
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
            Em              
And for to help you through the night help to minimise your plight


CHORUS

              Em             
"Life's just much too hard today," I hear every mother say
                                       F   D7
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
        G                               C         Am     
And if you take more of those you will get an overdose

        Am                          D7
No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
          Em           
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
