Am Kids are different today, I hear every mother say, F G Mother needs something today, to calm her down. C F Dm And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill.. G She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper, Am and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day. #2. Am Things are different today, I hear every mother say, F G cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag. C F Dm So, she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak, G and goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper, Am and two help her on her way, get her through her busy day. CHORUS: Am F G C Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door, F she took four more. Dm Am What a drag it is getting old.. #3. Am Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say, F G they just don't appreciate that you get tired. C F They're so hard to satisfy, but you can tranquilize your mind. G and go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper, Am and four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight. CHORUS: Am F G C Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door, F she took four more. Dm Am What a drag it is getting old.. #4. Am Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say, F G the pursuit of happiness just seems a bore. C F Dm And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose. G No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper, Am they just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day. CHORUS: Am F G C Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door, F she took four more. Dm Am What a drag it is getting old.. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
