Artist: Mott The Hoople Song: All The Young Dudes Tabbed by: John leadman D and D/A are not the same chord. I know many people always play the open A string when they're playing a D chord, but in this song you should not play the A string when you're playing the D, but let it ring out when you're playing the D/A chord. This song has a cool descending bassline, but when you're playing alone it's important to try to let the bass notes ring out clearly CHORDS: D (xx0232) A (x02220) G (320033) Dmaj7 (xx0222) Asus4 (x02230) Am (x02210) Bm (x24432) Em (022000) Am7/G (302010) D/A (x00232) Em7 (022030) F (133211) F#m (244222) F# (244322) C (x32010) INTRO: b = bend note up r = release bend D Dmaj7 Bm D/A E|--14-------14------------------------------------------------| B|-----15-------17b19r17b19r17-14--15-------15-14b15r14b15r14--| G|--------14--------------------------16-----------------------| D|---------------------------------------16--------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------| F#m A E--------------------------------------------------14------| B--12----14-14-14-14-13-12-------14-14-14-14-12----17b19---| G-----14-------------------14-------------------14---------| D----------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------| VERSE 1: D Dmaj7 Billy rapped all night about his suicide, Bm D/A How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five F#m A Asus4 A Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive when you're twenty-five D Dmaj7 And Wendy's stealing clothes from Mark's & Sparks and Bm D/A Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars F#m A Asus4 A From his face - a funky little boat race PRE-CHORUS: Em Em7 The television man is crazy F# Bm sayin' we're juvenile delinquent wrecks G D A Asus4 A Oooh, man, I need a TV when I've got T.

Carry the news then keep playing the chorus and fade out. I can't hear any more of what the lead singer is saying. It's not important anyway. Just make up some stuff.
