Mother's little helper - The Rolling Stones

What a [Am] drag it [D] is getting old [Em]

"Kids are different today" I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her [F] down [D7]
And though [G] she's not really ill
There's a [C] little yellow [Am]pill
She goes [Am7] running for the shelter
of a [D7] mother's little helper
And it [Em] helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
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

Doctor [C] please, some more of [D] these
Outside the [G] door, she took four [C] more
What a [Am] drag it [D] is getting old

"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day
