"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?

This is my first Posting, so please be gentle :g:. 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:

song:mother mother artist:tracy bonham tab guy: dan miser 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-+ +-7-+ +-6-+ +-5-+ +-4-+ +-7-+ +-6-+ +-5-+ +-4-+ +-5-+ +-4-+ +-3-+ +-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
