MOTT THE HOOPLE - "the golden age of rock and roll" Tablature
Official MOTT THE HOOPLE Tablature & Sheet Music »
The Golden Age of Rock and Roll - Mott The Hoople.
Ian Hunter.
This song features on 'The Hoople' Album, the one with the medusa on the front cover. Probably one of their best albums I think.
Playing the whole lot as bar chords sounds the best.
Piano Intro and lots of Oooo's,

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MOTT THE HOOPLE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
