The Kinks - Mindless Child of Motherhood: chords

 Am                     C    G    E  E7
I've been travelling a long time to be just
    Am       F
a-where you are
Am                C    G   E   E7         Am   F
In dreams I have seen you but you are so very far

Chorus:
 C                F    C  E    E7
How long must I travel on, to be
        Am        F
just a-where you are?
 C                F    C  E   E7
How long must I travel on, to be
        Am        F Fm
just a-where you are?
F C/E        C
I was your friend,
F C/E    C
I was a fool
F   C/E     Am                    G   E
I feel for you though we're far apart
F  C/E      C
I see your face,
 F     C/E    C
lost without trace
F  C/E      Am                    G  E
I see your mind, drift in 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
You have lost the thing that's good

I know that it's not fair
To bear a bastard son
But why do you hide there
When we could have shared a love?
