Guitar & harp

x 2 + Bass & drums
Bm G
I wanna tell you 'bout my mountain home
A Bm
Where all the ladies name's are Joan
Bm G
Where husband works back late at night
A Bm
Hopes are up, for trousers down, with the hostess on a business
flight
Bm G
Taxi in a Mercedes drive
A Bm
I hope that driver's comin' out alive
Bm G
The garden it is Dorseted, that lady she's so corseted
A Bm
She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray
Bm G
Thinks he's one and only, but that lovely she's so lonely
A Bm
She pumps him full of breakfast, and she sends him on his way
Pre-chorus:
Bm
What a sing, song, dance
A
What a performance
G
What a cheap tent show
F#
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Chorus:
Bm
Then the boys light up )
G
Then the boys light up )
A
Then the boys light up ) x 2
Bm
Then the boys light up, light up, light up )
BmGABm
Break
Bm G
Silently she opens the drawer
A Bm
Mother's little helper is comin' out for more
Bm G
Strategically positioned, before the midday show
A Bm
That back is arched, those lips are parched, repeated blow by
blow
Bm G
And later at the party, where all the MP's rave
A Bm
'Bout the hummers she's been givin', and the money that they
saved
Bm G
To her it is skin lotion, him promotion too
A Bm
That flat in Surfers' Paradise, with the ocean view
Pre chorus
