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:

What the electric guitar is doing in the chorus is basically just picking out the bass line. If you're playing this in a band with an electric, the electric should play this: CHORUS-RIFF: D Dmaj7 Bm D/A Am Am7/G E|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|--5---------4---------2---------0---------0--------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------3----------| F C G C A D E--------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------| G--------------------------------------| D--------------------------------------| A-------------3---------2---3---4---5--| E---1----------------------------------| VERSE 2: [play like verse 1] Lucy's looking sweet, coz he dresses like a queen, but he can kick like a mule, its a real mean team But we can love, oh yes, we can love And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones We never got it off on that revolution stuff What a drag - too many snags PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus] Well I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feelin' fine Gonna race some cat to bed Is that concrete all around or is it in my head?

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.
