                    "Me and all the Other Mothers"

                         by Loudon Wainwright 



Chords and lyrics written out by David Heggie (texdh@bonaly.hw.ac.uk)

==================================================  ===================



This song's really pretty easy - the verses are all just C G and D

repeated quickly (I've put them on the first verse below - after that

it's just more of the same).



The recording of this song that I've got is from some radio session

or other, so I don't know how like the record it is, but on this one

he plays quite quickly, and it's all fairly loose (no fancy picking 

or anything - just strum, strum, strum).



Also on the D chords, he adds Dsus4 every now and then (it seems like

he plays it when he feels like, so I'd do the same if I were you).



C       G             D

 Me and all the other mothers

    C               G          D

 We hang around the playground all day

C              G          D

 Watching over all of our precious young ones

    C                    G                   D

 We watch them climb and slide and swing and play



(play the rest of the verses as above - listen to the record

 to get the *proper* timing!)



Yeah, we were sippin' on our coffee containers

Chit-chattin' telling little white lies

Labour, horror-stories and painless abortions

I wasn't feeling like one of the guys



Barefootin' all over that sand-pile

"Get down from that jungle, Jim!"

And their whole wide world is just three lunch boxes

And a luke-warm water fountain



Chorus : 



A

 Me and all the other mothers

      G                A         D

 Were praying that the sun gonna shine

            A                       D            G

 And if the winos and weirdos steer clear of the playground



 [No Chord]

 1-2-3-4

C              G       D

 Everything'll be just fine

C                   G  D         (hold the D)

 Yeah Everything'll be just fine



It's easy to get injured in the playground

Scrapes and bruises on the girls and the boys

No, it's no bed of roses, no bowl of Cheerios

And they say you've got to share your toys!



But mother knows best in the playground

When they watch them and they leave them alone

And if the don't want to play, she can make them all stay

And she knows just when to take them all home



I got a crush on a mother

Maybe we should inter-tangle our lives

Her son and my daughter were born for each other

And she's reminding me of all of my wives



[CHORUS]



[BREAK] - just repeat one verse ( C G D ) 



I saw an actual father !

But there was something wrong with something he did

He and his son were climbing up in a tree

And someone said that he'd kidnapped the kid



Well then the mothers they all started screaming

And pointing at the man in the tree

The sharp-shooters arrived and they shot the man dead

You know, that guy, he could've been me



A grown man should no go tree-climbing

It's about time that that guy grew up

But most fathers are really like winos and weirdos

In the long run, they always screw up



[CHORUS]



End on D



That's it.
