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: G C
G C
Verse:
G G7
I changed my name in search of fame
C G
To find the Midas touch
Bm G G7
Oh I wish I hadn't wanted then
C
What I want now twice as much
G G7
We crossed the mighty oceans
C G
And we had a few divides
Bm G G7
But we never crossed emotion
C G
For we felt too much inside
Chorus:
D C
You know all the tales we tell
Bm G
You know the band so well
G7 C D G C G
But still I feel somehow, we've let you down
D C
We went off somewhere on the way
Bm G G7
And now I see we have to pay
C D C Bm Am G C
The rock 'n' roll circus is in town
G C
Verse:
And Buffin lost his child-like dreams
And Mick lost his guitar
And Verden grew a line or two
And Overends' just a rock 'n' roll star
Behind these shades
The vision fades
As I learn a thing or two
And if I had my time again
You all know just what I'd do
Chorus:
D C
Rock 'n' rolls' a losers loser's game
Bm G G7
It mesmerises and I can't explain
C D G C G
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
D C
We went off somewhere on the way
Bm G G7
And now I see we have to pay
C D C Bm Am G C
The rock 'n' roll circus is in town
G C
Guitar solo:
G G7 C G Bm G G7 C G
G G7 C G Bm G G7 C G
Chorus:
D C
So, Rock 'n' rolls' a losers loser's game
Bm G G7
It mesmerises and I can't explain
C D G C G
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
D C
The greasepaint still sticks to my face
Bm G G7
So what the hell, I can't erase
C D C Bm Am G C
The rock and roll feeling from my mind
C Bm Am G until the end
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
