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.

The Golden Age of Rock and Roll - Mott The Hoople.
Ian Hunter.
This song features on 'The Hoople' Album, the one with the medusa on the front cover. Probably one of
best albums I think.
Playing the whole lot as bar chords sounds the best.
Piano Intro and lots of Oooo's,

Verse:

Everybody hazy
Shell shocked and crazy

Screaming for the faces at the window
F#
Jeans for the genies, dresses for the dreamies
C# F#
Fighting for a place in the front row
Chorus:
B C# B C# B C#

Verse:
Well you get a little buzz
Send in for the fuzz
Guitars getting higher and higher
The dude in the paint thinks he's gonna faint
Stoke more coke on the fire
Chorus:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
(You've gotta stay young, never grow old)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
(Its the golden age of rock and roll)
Other Chorus bit:
G# G B C#
The golden age of rock and roll will never die
G# G B C#
As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry
D# C#
Don't want to smash - want a smash sensation
D# C#
Don't want to wreck - want recreation
D# C#
Don't wanna fight, but if you turn us down
G#
We're gonna turn you around - don't mess with the sound
Solo:

The show's gotta move everybody groove
There ain't no trouble on the streets now
So if the going the going gets rough don't you blame us
You ninety-six decibel freaks
