Problems
Mother Mother
You and me we're not the same
I am a sinner you are a saint
When we get to the pearly gates
You'll get the green light
I'll get the old door in the face
Doo doo doo
I'm a loser a disgrace yeah
I've found love in the strangest place
Tied up and branded locked in a cage
Let loose and love all
But baby we're out of place
Doo doo doo
I'm a loser a disgrace
You're a beauty
A luminary in my face
I got it all and not a lot
I got a lot less than a lot
I've got problems
Not just the ones that are little
It's those people problems
It's something to consider
When you come for dinner at my place
I seem to find myself with
The craziest of dames
They get the ball on me
I do forget the chains
Yeah yeah yeah
Some say strange be a stranger's game
Some go to baseball
Some go to base and face
What you can't seem to say
Doo doo doo
I'm a loser a disgrace yeah
You're a beauty
A luminary in my face
I've got a lot not a lot
I got a lot less than a lot
I've got problems
Not just the ones that are little
It's those people problems
It's something to consider
When you come for dinner at my place
I've got problems
Not just the ones that are little
It's those people problems
It's something to consider
When you come for dinner at my
Something to consider
When you come for dinner at my place
Tap any line to jump
How to play Problems by Mother Mother on guitar
This song is a great beginner pick because the groove is steady and the progression is easy to hear once you lock in the feel. You can focus on clean changes and a relaxed pulse instead of speed, which makes it satisfying to play along with right away.
You will mix open shapes with barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving smoothly between them. The opening move from G# to F, then Fm and F#m, is the change to watch closely because it shifts from easier shapes into harder ones and back into a tighter hand position.
Start by practicing each chord slowly and making sure every note rings clearly. Then loop the opening progression in order, first without worrying about tempo, then with a steady count, and finally bring it up to the song speed once your hands feel comfortable.
Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
