What a drag it is getting old

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                           D7 
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper 
       Em 
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

Em 
Things are different today, I hear every mother say 
                                            F   D 
Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag 
       G                            C                Am 
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak 

         Am                           D7 
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper 
       Em 
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day 

Em 

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

Am             D          Em 
What a drag it is getting old

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                        C                Am 
They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind 

         Am                           D7 
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper 
       Em 
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight 
Em 
  
        C                    D         
Doctor, please, some more of these 
            G                  C 
Outside the door she took four more 

Am             D          Em 
What a drag it is getting old 

Em 
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                             D7 
No more running for the shelter of her mother's little helper 
          Em 
They just help you on your way through your busy dying day 

Em 

G G C G G Hey!
