"HOT ROCKS"
Mother's Little Helper
(Jagger/Richards)

INTRO:        
 C      Am     D          Em 
What a drag it is getting old

RIFF:        
-- 2x's
PLAY ON HIGH E STRING ---0--2--2/3----3--2--0----

VERSE:        
  Em 
"Kids are different today,"
I hear every mother say
                                          F 
Mother needs something today to calm her down
            G 
And though she's not really ill
             C 
There's a little yellow pill

BREAK:        
          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  -- RIFF: -- 2x's

VERSE:        
"Things are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak

BREAK:        
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And to help her on her way
Get her through her busy day

CHORUS:        
         C 
Doctor please
               D 
Some more of these
             G 
Outside the door
               C 
She took four more
        Am     D          Em    -- RIFF: -- 1x 
What a drag it is getting old

VERSE:        
"Men just aren't the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilise your mind

BREAK:        
So go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And for to help you through the night
Help to minimise your plight

CHORUS:        
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old

VERSE:        
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose

BREAK:        
No more running to the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
