"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..." 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?

I got it pretty well, and I think I have it: Mother Mother Tracy Bonham Chord Shapes 5 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 6 3 4 5 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 5 2 3 4 Intro: (All Bar Chords) ^-9 ^-9 ^-9 ^-5 ^-3 ^-1 ^-1 Mother Mother Hows the family?
