"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:

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:
