Hymn For The Dudes Chords by Mott The Hoople

Five people, or six people rather, got shot the other day.
We'd like to do this number for what it's worth for them.
[Bm] This is a number called Hymn for the Dudes.

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ God [C] ain't child, _
_ [D] _ _ for [G] I can see his love _ _ [C] as it runs [D] alive. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ One [C] by one, _ [D] _ _ through fields of rusted wire, [G] _ the [C] war has just _
_ [D] begun.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ Cross over _ [C] shame, like [D] the _ wise dog, _
_ [G] _ who cares [C] not for fame, [D] just for _ shadows. _
_ [G] _ _ _ [B] Rejoice, for the king ain't [Em] lost his throne, oh [C] no, _ _ [G] he's still here. _ _
You [D] are not alone, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] correct your heads, _ [D] _ _ _ [C] for there's a new song rising [G] _ _ _ [C] high above [D] the waves. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Go write [C] your time, _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] go sing it [D] on the [G] streets, _ go [C] tell the world that you go [D] _ _ brave. _ _ _
_ [G] _ My sweet and [C] son Christian, [D] you are such a sly clown.
_ [G] _ Too many [C] questions, _
[D] no replies now. _ _
[G] _ _ Rejoice, [B] for the king ain't [Em] lost his throne, [C] oh no, _ _ [G] he's still here. _ _ _ _
[D] You are not alone, _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ you know I got an [C] idea. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] Go tell the _ superstars, [G] _ _ their [C] hair is turning [D] grey.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ Star [C]-spangled fear, _ _ [D] _ _ people out [C] _ disappear, _ [G] _ the [C] limelight fades _ [D] away. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] For if you think [B] you are [Em] the star, _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] for a while _ [A] they'll come [D] from near and far.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
But you [B] forget just who [Em] you are.
You [C] _ _ _ [G] ain't the Nas, _ _ _ _ _ [D] you're just a buzz, _ some kind of temporary [E] twat. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [E] _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ Cross _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ over _ [C] shame, _ [D] _ _ _
like the wise dog, [G] _ who cares not [C] for fortune, just [D] for shadows. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C]
My sweet and [D] son Christian, you are such a sly [G] clown.
Too many [C] questions, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
no [G] replies now.
Rejoice, for the [B] king ain't [Em] lost his throne, oh [C] no, _ _ [G] he's still here. _ _ _
You are not [D] alone, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] and the times, [B] they are [D] a _ [G]-changing again. _ _
