Mother's Little Helper



Em* riff:

e-0-2-3--3-2-0-- x2



Intro (used as a break later on):

Am     C       D          Em*

What a drag it is getting old



Verse 1:

Em

Kids are different today, I hear every mother say

       Em                                 F     D

Mother needs something today to calm her down

            G                               C      C   C/B Am

And though she's not really ill, there's a little yell--ow pill



Chorus 1:

         Am                           D7

She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

       Em

And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day



Em*



Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1):

Things are different today, I hear every mother say

Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag

So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak



Chorus 2 (same chords as Chorus 1):

And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day



Em*



Bridge:

        C                    D

Doctor, please, some more of these

             G                  C

Outside the door she took four more



Break:

Am     C       D           Em* (riff once only this time)

What a drag it is getting old



Verse 3 (same chords as Verse 1 and 2):

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 tranquilize your mind



Chorus 3 (same chords as Chorus 1 and 2):

So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight



Em*



Bridge (same chords):

        C                    D

Doctor, please, some more of these

             G                  C

Outside the door she took four more



Break (same chords):

Am     C       D           Em* (riff only once)

What a drag it is getting old



Verse 4 (same chords as Verses 1, 2, and 3):

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



Chorus 4 (same chords as Choruses 1, 2, and 3):

No more running for the shelter of her mother's little help

They just help you on your way through your busy dying day



Em*
