Roll Away The Stones main riff bore a passing resemblance to The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps. But, as Motts then-guitarist Mick Ralphs offers: Any similarity to anything else was purely accidental. I just played the song as I felt it. Mott The Hoople had ended 1973 on a roar, climaxing a 22-date tour of the UK, supported by Queen, with two shows at Hammersmith Odeon.

Roll Away the Stone is a single released by Mott the Hoople. The song was recorded before Mick Ralphs left the band. In this version, Ralphs plays lead guitar and one of the Thunderthighs handles the bridge voice. It was re-recorded for The Hoople with Ariel Bender on lead guitar and English vocalist Lynsey de Paul doing the vocal bridge. It reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart. View wiki.

Forgot my six-string razor Hit the sky Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised Well I rang the information My axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oriole. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles And you look like a star but you're really out on parole All the way from Memphis. More on Genius. What have the artists said about the song . A D A D Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail, and the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails. A D G-F-E-D-C - B - A-G D G And I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail, all the way from Memphis. DF G EG A Bm A G - DF - E F E D Well I got to Oreoles y'know, it took a month, and there was my guitar, electric junk DF G EG A Bm Some spade said rock'n'rollers, you're all the same, A G F Man that's your instrument, I felt so ashamed.
