What a drag it is getting old

Em   
Kids are different today, I hear every mother say
                                         F  D
Mother needs something today to calm her down
           G                               C             Am
And though she's not really ill, There's a little yellow pill
Am
She goes running for the shelter 
       D
Of her mother's little helper
       Em
And it helps her on her way. Gets her through her busy day  -- RIFF: -- 2x's

Things are different today, I hear every mother say
                                          F   D
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
       G                            C                Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
Am
And goes running for the shelter
       D
Of her mother's little helper
       Em
And it helps her on her way.  Gets her through her busy day

C                           D
Doctor please, some more of these
            G                  C
Outside the door she took four more

Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say
                                        F    D
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
           G                        C                Am
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilize your mind
Am
So go running for the shelter
        D
Of your mother's little helper
       Em 
And to help you through the night. Help to minimize your plight

C                           D
Doctor please, some more of these
            G                  C
Outside the door she took four more

Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say
                                      F    D
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
           G                           C          Am
And if you take more of those you will get an overdose
Am
No more running to the shelter
        D
Of your mother's little helper
	  Em	
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
