MINDLESS CHILD OF MOTHERHOOD- The Kinks



 Am                     C     G

I've been travelling a long time

 E  E7         Am       F

To be just a-where you are

Am                C    G

In dreams I have seen you

E    E7         Am   F

But you are so very far





CHORUS:

 C                F     C

How long must I travel on

E   E7         Am       F

To be just a-where you are?

 C                F    C

How long must I travel on

E   E7         Am       F

To be just a-where you are?

F   G         C    F   G    C

I was your friend, I was a fool

F   G       Am         F    E

I feel for you don't fall apart

F  G         C    F     G       C

I see your face lost without trace

F   G     Am             F     E

I see a vacuum an empty space

Am           C       G

Mindless child of motherhood

E          E7       Am          F

You have lost the thing that's good

Am           C      G

Mindless child of motherhood

E          E7       Am          F   F G C  F G C  F G Am F E

You have lost the thing that's good





Am           C     G  

I know that it's unfair

E   E7      Am     F

To bear a bastard son

Am              C    G

But why do you hide babe

E     E7             Am      F

When we could have shared a love? ...CHORUS
