Mother’s Little Helper chords

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

Kids are different today, I hear every mother say
                                         F   D
Mother needs something today to calm her down
           G                               C             Am
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
 
         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
 
Em
Things are different today, I hear every mother say
                                            F   D
Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag
       G                            C                Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
 
         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
 
        C                    D
Doctor, please, some more of these
            G                  C
Outside the door she took four more
 
Am     C       D          Em
What a drag it is getting old
 
Em
 
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                        C                Am
They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
 
      Am                           D7
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
         Em
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight
 
        C                    D
Doctor, please, some more of these
            G                  C
Outside the door she took four more
 
Am     C       D          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                                C          Am
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
 
        Am                             D7
No more running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
          Em
They just help you on your way through your busy dying day
 
Em

The sitar thing in the original is sort of like this but the chords are pretty much perfect e-------------- B-7-8-10 ---8-7-8 G-------------- D-------------- A-------------- E--------------

In the ending play a D before the G G C G G .

PERFECT, THANKS PENCOM!!!
