Mother's Little Helper

[INTRO: ](7th fret for orig.) 
  
Dm             G          Am   
What a drag it is getting old...   

#1.   
Em   
Kids are different today, I hear every mother say,   
                                             F  D  
Mother needs something today, to calm her down.   
           G                G7              C             Am   
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill..   
            Am7                            D7   
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper,   
       Em   
and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.   

#2.   
Em   
Things are different today, I hear every mother say,   
                                             F  D  
cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag.   
        G                 G7           C                Am   
So, she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak,   
           Am7                         D7   
and goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,   
        Em   
and two help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

Em     C                    D                  G   
Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door,    
              C   
she took four more.   
       D7                 Em   
What a drag it is getting old..

Em   
Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say,   
                                            F  D  
they just don't appreciate that you get tired.   
           G             G7               C               Am  
They're so hard to satisfy, but you can tranquilize your mind.   
          Am7                          D7   
and go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,   
         Em   
and four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight.

Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door,    
              C   
she took four more.   
       D7                 Em   
What a drag it is getting old..

Em   
Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say,   
                                         F  D   
the pursuit of happiness just seems a bore.   
       G                  G7             C          Am   
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose.   
           Am7                        D7   
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,   
          Em   
they just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day.

What a drag it is getting old..
