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.

[Verse 1]
C F
All the changes they will take their time
G F
In the morning dust they'll begin to rise
C F
Halfway to a borderline
G F
Well, I can see the end for the very first time
[Chorus]
C D/F# F G
Well, I know I lost just a little bit on the journey
C D/F# F G
When my mind's been split by little things that didn't fit on the way
C D/F# F
Oh, I know I lost just a little bit on the journey
G C F G
'Cos I'm trying so hard, to get home
[Verse 2]

And the river drags and the water sways
G F
Oh, his rags've seen better days
[Chorus]
C D/F# F G
