Single #8 in 1966.

INTRO: (7th fret for orig.)
DmDm       G+G     A minorAm
What a drag it is getting old...

#1.
A minorAm
Kids are different today, I hear every mother say,
                     FF  G+G
Mother needs something today, to calm her down.
      C majorC                FF       DmDm
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill..
                    G+G
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper,
    A minorAm
and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

#2.
A minorAm
Things are different today, I hear every mother say,
                     FF  G+G
cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag.
    C majorC              FF        DmDm
So, she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak,
                   G+G
and goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,
    A minorAm
and two help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

CHORUS:
A minorAm   FF          G+G         C majorC
Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door,
       FF
she took four more.
    DmDm         A minorAm
What a drag it is getting old..

#3.
A minorAm
Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say,
                    FF  G+G
they just don't appreciate that you get tired.
      C majorC              FF
They're so hard to satisfy, but you can tranquilize your mind.
                  G+G
and go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,
     A minorAm
and four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight.

CHORUS:
A minorAm   FF          G+G         C majorC
Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door,
       FF
she took four more.
    DmDm         A minorAm
What a drag it is getting old..

#4.
A minorAm
Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say,
                   FF  G+G
the pursuit of happiness just seems a bore.
    C majorC                FF     DmDm
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose.
                   G+G
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper,
     A minorAm
they just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day.

CHORUS:
A minorAm   FF          G+G         C majorC
Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door,
       FF
she took four more.
    DmDm         A minorAm
What a drag it is getting old..
