Mother Mother

Am Gm Fm

The chorus part:
"I'm hungry...I'm dirty...I'm losing my mind...EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!"

Not quite sure...I think it's Fm every time with a bit of distortion thrown
in.  Any suggestions on this part?

Overall, I think this was a pretty easy song to figure out and to play.
Anyone want to figure out the tidbits of violin in the song?

 G                   F#            F#  G  G#
   Just a phone call  To say hello


That's the basic jist of it....play with this, and it will sound good.



It is really simple, all you do is play these chords through the verse:
A   e +-5-+    G#  e +-4-+    G  e +-3-+    F#  e +-2------------------+
    b +-5-+        b +-4-+       b +-3-+        b +-2------------------+
    g +-6-+        g +-5-+       g +-4-+        g +-3------------------+
    D +-7-+        D +-6-+       D +-5-+        D +-4------------------+
    A +-7-+        A +-6-+       A +-5-+        A +-4------------------+
    E +-5-+        E +-4-+       E +-3-+        E +-2------------------+

You play A G# G F# about 1 or 2 measures each then go back up the neck (G G# A)
one measure each.
I'm not sure about the chorus but I think it is just the same only distorted.

Here is how I play it:

A                   G#
Mother mother       how's the family?
G                   F#
I'm just calling    to say hello
A                   G#
How's the weather?  How's my father?
G                   F#
Am I lonely?        Heavens no
A                   G#
Mother mother       are ya listening?
G                   F#
Just a phone call   to ease your mind
A                   G#
Life is perfect     never better
G                   F#
Distance making     the heart grow fond

E        D                      C     ( D )
When you sent me off to see the world
E                      D         C      ( D )
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
E             D      C        ( D )
Would I try a little tobacco
E               D            C      ( D )
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?
A
I'm hungry
A
I'm dirty
A
I'm losing my mind
A  G#  G  F#
Everything's fine!
A
I'm freezing
A
I'm starving
A
I'm bleeding to death
A  G#  G  F#
Everything's fine!
