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
lyrics please let me know where I went wrong.
(originally a B side single, 1969. On Kinks Kronikles album)

| I always interpreted this song as the son of an unwed mother begging for the love and attention his mother has denied him because he's abastard child. | |

| I thinks it's Dave being horrible to some girl he got pregnant, saying that's she's no fun anymore, now that she's had his kid. I could be totally wrong, but that's what it sounds like to me. This song needs a much better production - it's a good song, but it sounds terrible. | |
