No Wheels To Ride - Mott The Hoople. This starts off as a fairly slow, sad song and then livens up with the solo before quietening down again. One of Mott The Hoople's songs from their early years with Island Records. The basic chords are fairly to get the hang off, although you can experiment with picking and messing around over them to get an effect to that of the original song. Intro: This is just an A chord which kind of drones for a bit, then: Verse:

^GNo wheels to ^D/F#ride ^GNo wheels to ^Dtravel

^GNo tracks to ^D/F#take on ^Emdown ^A ^GThe road I ^D/F#walk ^Gis getting heavy^D

^GBut I must ^D/F#still go ^Emon ^A ^GAnd in the ^D/F#night

^GI hear the ^Dcalling ^GAs the ^D/F#train goes ^Emby ^A

^GThen all I^D/F# hear is^G my footsteps ^Dfalling ^GUpon the ^D/F#tears I ^Emcry ^A

Chorus: (Picking over the chords seems to work well)

^DIf I could^D/F# find a bette^Gr way t^Ao get to you You ^Dknow that^D/F# I would^G ^A

^DNo money^D/F# lines my pockets^G now But ^Aby the spring you ^Dknow that it^D/F# should ^G ^A

^DWell I just cant wait^D/F# to catch that Grey^Ghound bus That will ^Atake me back ^Dright to y^D/F#our side ^G ^A

Post Chorus Bit:

^DCan't get enough ^D/F#Can't get enough

Can't ^Gget enough ^AI can't get enough of your l^Dove ^D/F# ^G ^A

Solo: D D/F# G A Repeat this sequence as necessary. Then there's a fill in bit that goes like: D G D Verse:

^GSo I'll ^D/F#go on^G making^D time ^G'Til I can ^D/F#see a ^Emway ^A

^GMaybe to^D/F#morrow^G I'll find a ^Dfuture ^GBaby ^D/F#all I can ^Emsay ^A

Chorus:

^DIf I can ^D/F#find a better ^Gway to ^Aget to you You ^Dknow^D/F# that I w^Gill ^A

^DNo mone^D/F#y lines my pocket^Gs now But ^Aby the spring you ^Dknow yes you ^D/F#know that it wi^Gll ^A

D D/F# G A D D/F# G A And someday soon I'll see you there waiting at the station just for me Post-Chorus Bit:

^DI just can't wait ^D/F#I just can't wait

D D/F# G A Until end. Good song methinks..... Andrew Jones. 2001.
