Dm G Am
What a drag it is getting old...
#1.
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..

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.
