"Mother, Mother"

By: Tracy Bonham

Album: The Burdens of Being Upright

The opening riff and most of the song:

"Mother, Mother...are you litenting?"

Am Abm Gm F#m, then back up struming once at each fret. Listen to the song

to get the rythym.

I play them with barre chords, slightly muted, staying on the lower strings.

The prechorus part:

"When you sent me off to seek the world..."

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?

Chords:

| E A D G B e |

---+-------------+

Fm | 1 3 3 1 1 1 |

F#m| 2 4 4 2 2 2 |

Gm | 3 5 5 3 3 3 |

Abm| 4 6 6 4 4 4 |

Am | 5 7 7 5 5 5 |

This is my first Posting, so please be gentle . When I first heard this song, I was scared,

because she was screaming. Then I picked up my acoustic guitar and tried to imitate the song.

I got it pretty well, and I think I have it:

i don't know the rest of the info

it is realy 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 +-e-+ 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 distoted

i hope it makes scence
