Verse 1:
--------
A	     G#			G		     F#		G  G#
Mother Mother, how's the family? I'm just calling to say hello

How's the weather, how's my father?  Am I lonely?  Heavens no.
Mother mother, are you listening, just a phone call to ease your mind,
Life is perfect, never better, distance making, the heart grow by,

Chorus: (distorted)
-------
	 E		D	C	D
Well you sent me off to see the world
But you're scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco?
Would I keep on hikin up my skirt?

Bridge:
-------

A (stop)     A (stop)  	 A (stop)
  I'm hungry,  I'm dirty,  I'm losing my mind,
		     F# (slide down to from the A)
(scream)Everything's fine

I'm freezing, I'm starving, I'm bleeding to death,
	Everything's fine!

Verse 2: (same chords all the way through)
--------

Yeah I'm working, making money, I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it, down the corner, I can make it any day...
Mother mother, can you hear me?  Sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane
Life is perfect, never better, still your daughter, still the same.

Chorus 2: (same chords as chorus 1)
---------

Should I tell you what you want to hear?
Will it help you to sleep well at night,
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight...

Bridge: play 1st bridge

End on:
A (stop)	A (stop)		A (stop)
   I miss you		I love you
