INTRO:
C Am D Em
What a drag it is getting old
Em
Kids are different today, I hear every mother say
F
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 Asus2
She goes running for the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother's little helper
Em
And it helps her on her way. Gets her through her busy day
Em
Things are different today, I hear every mother say
F
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
G C Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
Am Asus2
And goes running for the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother's little helper
Em
And it helps her on her way. Gets her through her busy day
C D
Doctor please, Some more of these
G C
Outside the door she took four more
Am D Em
What a drag it is getting old
Em
Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say
F
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
G C Am
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilize your mind
Am Asus2
So go running for the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother's little helper
Em
And to help you through the night. Help to minimize your plight
C D
Doctor please, Some more of these
G C
Outside the door she took four more
Am D Em
What a drag it is getting old
Em
Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say
F
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
G C Am
And if you take more of those you will get an overdose
Am Asus2
No more running to the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother's little helper
Em
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
