IntroCFmaj7/CCFmaj7/CCFmaj7/CCFmaj7/CVerseCDm7
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
EmFG
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
CDm7
People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
EmFG
you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kiddin' you
FG
You used to laugh about
FG
Everybody that was hangin' out
FEmDm7C
Now you don't talk so loud
FEmDm7C
Now you don't seem so proud
Dm7FG
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
ChorusCFG
How does it feel
CFG
How does it feel
CFG
To be without a home
CFG
Like a complete unknown
CFG
Like a rolling stone
InstrumentalCFGVerseCDm7Em
Aww, You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
FG
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
CDm7Em
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
FG
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
FG
You said you'd never compromise
FG
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
FEmDm7C
He's not selling any alibis
FEmDm7C
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Dm7FG
And say do you want to make a deal?
ChorusCFG
How does it feel
CFG
How does it feel
CFG
To be on your own
CFG
With no direction home
CFGA complete unknown
CFG
Like a rolling stone
InstrumentalCFGVerseCDm7Em
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
FG
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
CDm7
You never understood that it ain't no good
EmFG
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
FG
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
FG
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
FEmDm7C
Ain't it hard when you discover that
FEmDm7C
He really wasn't where it's at
Dm7FG
After he took from you everything he could steal.
ChorusCFG
How does it feel
CFG
How does it feel
CFG
To have you on your own
CFG
With no direction home
CFG
Like a complete unknown
CFG
Like a rolling stone
InstrumentalCFGVerseCDm7Em
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
FG
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
CDm7Em
Exchanging all precious gifts
FG
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
FG
You used to be so amused
FG
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
FEmDm7C
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
FEmDm7C
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Dm7FG
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
ChorusCFG
How does it feel
CFG
How does it feel
CFG
To be on your own
CFG
With no direction home
CFG
Like a complete unknown
CFG
Like a rolling stone
