"Mother's Opinion" by Men Without Hats

(intro riff: =verse; see below for TABlature) 

[C C/D C]

(verse:)

Mother's opinion is that we're too young to be old
And mother's opinion is we should never do what we are told
And mother's reactions are the same as they were before
And mother's interior she gave us all of this and much more 

(chorus:)

[D] And mother's superior, 
she's been [G] through all this be- [C] -fore 
She's got a [D] lot of things she wants to tell you
Like who you [G] are and what you've came here [C] for

Mother's reaction hasn't changed much since the war
And mother's opinion is the same as it was before
And mother's superior she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve
And mother's interior, gave us everything that we need

And mother superior, 
she's been through all this before 
She's got a lot of things she wants to tell you
Like who you are and what you've came here for

[D] hey, it sounds familiar, but it just [G] doesn't sound the [C] same
[D] hey, it sounds familiar, but just a [G] million miles [C] away, 

(instrumental solo: (=outro))
[Am Am C D] (x2)

[D] And mother's reactions 
are the [G] same as they were be- [C] -fore
[D] And mother's interior 
she gave us [G] all of this and much [C] more 

I say hey, it sounds familiar, 
but it just doesn't sound the same
I say hey, it sounds familiar, 
just a million miles away, hey, hey, hey

(repeat instrumental solo with guitar: (=outro))
[Am Am C D] (x2)

[Am] It sounds familiar, but it [C] doesn't sound the [D] same 
[Am] It sounds familiar, just a [C] million miles [D] away! 

[repeat and fade with instrumental outro]
