VERSE:
        Em
      `Kids are different today,`


       I hear every mother say
                                                  F D
       Mother needs something today to calm her down

                   G
       And though she`s not really ill

                  C      Em7    Am
       There`s a little yellow pill



BREAK:
                 Am
       She goes running for the shelter

             D7
       Of a mother`s little helper

               Em
       And it helps her on her way


       Gets her through her busy day

VERSE:
          Em
       `Things are different today,`


       I hear every mother say
                                                   F D
       Cooking fresh food for a husband`s just a drag

               G
       So she buys an instant cake

                 C       Em7     Am
       And she burns her frozen steak



BREAK:
                     Am
       And she goes running for the shelter

             D7
       Of a mother`s little helper

               Em
       And two help her on her way


       Gets her through her busy day

       Doctor please

                      D
       Some more of these

                    G
       Outside the door

                      C
       She took four more

        Am     C      D          Em
       What a drag it is getting old

VERSE:
        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
       They`re so hard to satisfy

                 C     Em7      Am
       You can tranquilise your mind



BREAK:
               Am
       So go running for the shelter

             D7
       Of a mother`s little helper

                   Em
       And for to help you through the night


       Help to minimise your plight

VERSE:

       `Life`s just much too hard today,`


       I hear every mother say
                                              F  D
       The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore

               G
       And if you take more of those

                 C     Em7  Am
       You will get an overdose



BREAK:
                 Am
       No more running to the shelter

              D7
       Of a mother`s little helper

                   Em
       They just helped you on your way


       Through your busy dying day
