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.

VERSE1
A D
I scream at you for sharing
A D
'n I curse you just for caring
A Bm E
I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty
A D
'n I tell to not to see me
A D
'n I tell you not to feel me
A Bm E
'n I make your life a drag, it's such a pity
'n I watch your warm glow palin'
'n I watch your sparkle fadin'
As you realise you're failin', cos you're so good
Now I don't mean to upset you
But there's so much crime to get through
If only I could make it easier, then I would
CHORUS
A D
Oh I wish I was your mother
A D
I wish I'd been your father
A Bm
'n then I would have seen you
D E
Would have been you as a child
A D
Played houses with your sisters
A D
And wrestled with all your brothers
A
And then who knows
Bm D E
I might have felt a family for a while
VERSE2 (SAME CHORDS AS VERSE1)
It's no use me pretendin'
You give and I do the spendin'
Is there a happy ending, I don't think so
Cos even if we make it
I'll be too far out to take it
You'll have to try and shake it from my head
CHORUS
Oooooh I wish I was your mother
I wish I'd been your father
'n then I would have seen you
Would have been you as a child
Played houses with your sister
And wrestled with all your brothers
And then who knows
I might have felt a family for a while
