  And to \[Em]helps her on her way get her through her busy day

  So go running for the shelt\[D]er of your mother's little helper
  And for to \[Em]help you through the night help to minimise your plight
  \end{verse}

  \end{chorus}

  \begin{verse}
  \[Em]Life's just much too hard today I hear every mother say
  The pursuit of happiness just seems a \[F]bore \[D]
  And if \[G]you take more of those you will \[C]get an over\[Am]dose
  No more running for the shelter \[D]of a mother's little helper
  They just \[Em]helped you on your way through your busy dying day
  \end{verse}
