CAPO: 2nd Fret
 
 
 
[Intro]
C F C G Am    Dm  G  Am   (4x)
 
[Verse 1]
 
Get for me a dog that bites
 
Turn him loose on moonless nights
             E        C     Am
Get for me a dog that bays
                                   Dm   G  Am
And turn him loose on sunless days
G                   Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Build for me a house of stone
 
Lock it up when you leave me alone
                 E        C     Am
And cage it in a fence of iron
             E7             Am
To keep your child from all harm
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm           G      Am
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Dm               G        Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am
Mother, Mother, oh help me
    Dm           G        Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Get for me a bird of prey
 
Starve it night and day
                        E       C      Am
And turn it loose where tyrants dwell
                  E7        Am
And make a heaven from this hell
 
 
[Chorus]
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am
Mother, Mother, oh help me
Dm               G        Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am       Dm
Mother, Mother, oh help me
         G          Am
Someone’s trying to hurt me
                G  Am
Mother, Mother, oh help me
Dm               G        Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
