Mother Mother

[Verse 1]
A               G#
 Mother, mother,  how's the family?
G                    F#       G G#
 I'm just calling to say hello
A                  G#
 How's the weather?  How's my father?
G             F#          G G#
 Am I lonely? Heavens know

[Pre-Chorus]
A               G#
 Mother, mother,  are you listening?
G                     F#            G G#
 Just a phone call to ease your mind
A                G#
 Life is perfect,  never better
G                    F#
 Distance making the heart grow fond

[Chorus]
         E              D/A          C/E
When you sent me off to see the world
D/A      E             D/A
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
C/E D/A     E           D/A     C/E
    Would I try a little   tobacco?
D/A     E              D/A         C/E
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?

[Post-Chorus]
A
 I'm hungry, I'm dirty
                      G# G      F#
I'm losing my mind, everything's  fine
A
 I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death,
  G# G      F#
everything's  fine

[Verse 2]
A                  G#
 Yeah, I'm working,  making money
G                     F#          G G#
 I'm just starting to build a name
A              G#
 I can feel it,  'round the corner
G                F#     G G#
 I could make it any day

[Pre-Chorus]
A               G#
 Mother, mother,  can you hear me?
G                F#           G G#
 Sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane
A                G#
 Life is perfect,  never better
G                     F#
 Still your daughter, still the same

[Chorus]
     E                 D/A         C/E
If I tell you what you want to hear
D/A     E                 D/A           C/E
Will it help you to sleep well at night?
D/A     E                  D/A          C/E
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear?
D/A      E            D/A           C/E
Now just cuddle up and   sleep tight

[Outro]
A
 I'm hungry, I'm dirty
                      G# G      F#
I'm losing my mind, everything's  fine

 I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death,
C B  A      F#
everything's  fine
A
 I miss you, I love you
