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 EmdownA  
GThe road I D/F#walk Gis getting heavyD  
GBut I must D/F#still go EmonA  
GAnd in the D/F#night
GI hear the Dcalling
GAs the D/F#train goes EmbyA  
GThen all I D/F#hear is Gmy footsteps Dfalling
GUpon the D/F#tears I EmcryA  
Chorus: (Picking over the chords seems to work well)
DIf I could D/F#find a betteGr way tAo get to you
You Dknow that D/F#I wouldG  A  
DNo money D/F#lines my pockets Gnow
But Aby the spring you Dknow that it D/F#shouldG  A  
DWell I just cant wait D/F#to catch that GreyGhound bus
That will Atake me back Dright to yD/F#our sideG  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 lDoveD/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 Gmaking Dtime
G'Til I can D/F#see a EmwayA  
GMaybe toD/F#morrow GI'll find a Dfuture
GBaby D/F#all I can EmsayA  
Chorus:

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
GI just can't wait
AFor you to get back
   D     D/F#     G         AUntil end.
Good song methinks.....
