MINDLESS CHILD OF MOTHERHOOD- The Kinks
Am C G
I’ve been travelling a long time
E E7 Am F
To be just a-where you are
Am C G
In dreams I have seen you
E E7 Am F
But you are so very far
CHORUS:
C F C
How long must I travel on
E E7 Am F
To be just a-where you are?
C F C
How long must I travel on
E E7 Am F
To be just a-where you are?
F G C F G C
I was your friend, I was a fool
F G Am F E
I feel for you don’t fall apart
F G C F G C
I see your face lost without trace
F G Am F E
I see a vacuum an empty space
Am C G
Mindless child of motherhood
E E7 Am F
You have lost the thing that’s good
Am C G
Mindless child of motherhood
E E7 Am F F G C F G C F G Am F E
You have lost the thing that’s good
Am C G
I know that it’s unfair
E E7 Am F
To bear a bastard son
Am C G
But why do you hide babe
E E7 Am F
When we could have shared a love? …CHORUS
NOTE: The lyrics to this song are a real mystery. If anyone has the real
