Biography:
Mott the Hoople were a British rock band that was formed in 1968 in Herefordshire, England, near the Welsh border. They were led by Ian Hunter until his departure in 1974. The band itself broke up in 1976. The group is best known for the international hit single "All the Young Dudes", written by David Bowie and featured in films such as 'Clueless' and 'Juno'. The band's name came from a novel, authored by Willard Manus, about a freak-show worker named Norman Mott.

(intro):
C F Em Dm
C F Em Dm
C F C
C F C
C F C F C
I dreamt of being horses in shackles of gold
C Am Bb F
And the men that were young then are now terribly old
C F C
The graveyard was creaking with too many bones
C Am Bb F
While the bishop was praying his cassock was sold
C F C
Three cheers for the innocent though he is perverse
C Am Bb F
Three screams for the hangman as he cries for the hearse
C F C
I weep for the rebels conventional ways
C Am Bb F
For he loses his mind while the devious stay
C G
By the way
C F Em
If the world saluted you
Dm G Dm
Well what would you do if you could be there
G
Well would you still take me
Would you take me anywhere
C F Em
If the world saluted you
Dm F Dm
Well what would you say when things were down
Dm G
Would you still want me
Would you want me around
C F Em Dm C
C F C
C F C
So come all ye faithful and slaughter your lambs
C Am Bb F
Your minds have been whipped by experienced hands
C F C
I wish we were children I'd welcome the change
Dm Bb F
And the mind of an old man you can't rearrange
G
Ain't it strange
C F Em
If the world saluted you
Dm C Bm Dm
Well what would you do if you could be there
G
Would you still
Em G
Would you still take me anywhere
C F Em
If the world saluted you
Dm F Dm
What would you say when things were down
G
Would you still want me
Would you still want me around

OOooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
