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]
A D D A
A D D A
[Verse 1]
A Bm D A
His feet lay heavy on the road that led to Birmingham
A G#m F#m E G A
Unseeing eyes, defeated cries, the mysteries of men
A Bm D A
The many hears, the helpless tears that left the troubled brow
A G#m F#m E G A
A man once tall, he fought them all, but he is older now
A D D A
[Verse 2]
A Bm D A
For in your youth, you think the truth will always win the game
A G#m F#m E D A
Some men are kings, some men are rooks, some men are pawns to blame
A Bm D A
But if your skin is coloured black, well the dice are hidden in
A G#m F#m E G A
The minds of fools who twist the rules, so you can never win
[Chorus]
A C#m F#m E D
Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
F#m E D
There's nothing but a space, you're hollow
A D D A
[Verse 3]
A Bm D A
Unlighted sky, begins to cry, the shabby coat is weak
A G#m F#m E D A
And homes with windows dressed in warmth, and mouths that never speak
A Bm D A
His mind is dead, his visions spread that pass before his feet
A G#m F#m E G A D D A
And thankfully he wears that dream that shields him from the street
[Verse 4]
A Bm D A
Goodnight my friend, this is the end, you'll never cry again
A G#m F#m E G A
You'll never have to smile away the bastards and the pain
A Bm D A
Is it too late, or can you wait to take another turn
A G#m F#m E G A
And walk together down that road that leads to Birmingham
[Chorus]
A C#m F#m E D
Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
F#m E D
There's nothing but a space, inside you
A D D A
[Chorus]
A C#m F#m E D
Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
F#m E D
There's nothing but a space
