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:
BBBEB A mountain train's coming down the tracks - she ain't wasting time, BBBEB She's following me, 'cos I'm going back, right to the end of the line, F# She know's I ain't been anywhere, AbE Because I'll come back everytime to her.
Chorus:
B Walking with a mountain, E Walking with a mountain.
Verse:
BBBEB The troubles and tears, I take 'em in years - I left so many behind, BBBEB Maybe it's strange to rearrange - who know's what I'll find, F# But anything's better than the life I've known, AbE I can't face anything that low,
B Walking with a mountain, E Walking with a mountain.
Solo over verses
B Walking with a mountain, E Walking with a mountain.
for the rest simply use the same chords
Now when she talks to me, I can see just where I'm headed to, She sits, drinks, takes it all in, just to admire the view, But if I had my choice in life, I'd take that woman for my wife.
Walking with a mountain, Walking with a mountain. [...] Jumping jack flash, it's a gas, Jumping jack flash, it's a gas.
some soli again fade out
