[Verse 1]
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the advice of [Baug]a solicitor
[Em]Mother dear you'll never
be my [Baug]sister[B]
[Baug]Show me[Em]
[D#]Em p[D#dim]athy
[Em]Californian sensib[D#]ilities
[D#dim]All my pr[Em]oblems spring from
my [D#dim]troubled [D#]upbringing
We need [Em]to go right back to
[D#]the beginning[Baug]
[Em]Dispossessed from the [D#]outset[Em]
What you need is pre[D#]cisely
what you [D#dim]get
[Em]Mother dear it should be you
that's [D#dim]sit ting here
On [Em]this couch.
[B]Ouch.
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the advice [Baug]of a solicitor
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my [D#]shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a [D#dim]blister
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the ad[Em]vice [Baug]of a solicitor
[Em]Mother dear you'll never
be my [B]sister[D#dim]
So [Em]tell me what am I gon[D#]na do
[Em]They told me that maybe
[D#]I could su[Bbdim]e
[B]And oh [Em]how the m[D#]any
Were cor[Em]rupted [D#dim]by the fe[Em]w[B]
[Em]So I dance the mambo and the c[D#dim]ha cha cha[D#]
I [Em]run you over in my b[D#]eautiful
[D#dim]car[B]
[Em]Dearest darling [D#]mummy dearest
[Em]We can't bear to have[D#dim]
you near us.
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the advice [Baug]of a solicitor
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my [D#]shoulder you're a chip
On my [D#dim]foot you're a blister
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the advice of a solicitor
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my
[B]sister[Baug][B]
[Em]The blame lies in [D#]the family [D#dim]name
[Em]It's not my fault I did [D#]as I was t[D#dim]aught
[D#]Escape[Em] to Mongolia or Ti[D#]mbuktu
[Em]I know somehow, somewhere
I'll be [B]bumping into you
[Em]You see, I'm blameless
I had a [D#]mother who was [Em]shameless
No wonder my life col[D#dim]lapsed
[B]See I'm [Em]aimless
With [D#]all this [D#dim]analysis
[Em]I think I'm having a rel[B]ap[Em]se
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the advice of a soli[D#dim]citor[Baug]
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my [D#]shoulder you're a chip
On my [D#dim]foot you're a blister
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
[D#]Seek the ad[Edim]vice of a soli
[D#]citor[Baug]
[Em]Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a [D#]chip
On my foot you're a [D#dim]blister[B]
[Em]We l[B]ove yo[D#dim]u[Baug][Em]
We [B]do[D#][A]
[Em]We've taken advice[Baug]
[B]We [Em]may sue[B]
You [Em]see I'm blameless
[D#]I shall remain [Em]nameless
You can't run away from
the pas[D#]t[D#dim]
I know [Em]what her game is
But I've for[D#]gotten what
my [D#dim]name is[Baug]
[Em]I'm just too frightened to ask[D#][A]
[D#dim]Tell me w[Em]hat did you[D#]
ex[D#dim]pect[D#][Em]
What you made is precisely
what you get
Precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
