[Verse 1]
D D/E D/F#
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
G A
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
D D/E D/F#
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
G A
You thought they were all kiddin' you
G A
You used to laugh about
G A
Everybody that was hangin' out
G F#m E D
Now you don't talk so loud
G F#m E D
Now you don't seem so proud
F#m G A
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
[Chorus]
D G A D G A
How does it feel, how does it feel
Bm G A Bm G A
To be without a home, like a complete unknown
D G A
Like a rolling stone
[Verse 2]
D D/E D/F#
You've gone to the finest school all right,
G A
Miss Lonely but you know you only used to get juiced in it
D D/E D/F#
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
G A
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
G A G A
You said you'd never compromise, with the mystery tramp, but know you realize
G F#m E D G F#m E D
He's not selling any alibis, as you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
F#m G A
And say do you want to make a deal?
[Chorus 2]
D G A D G A
How does it feel, how does it feel
Bm G A Bm G A
To be on your own, with no direction home
Bm G A
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
[Bridge]
Bm G
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people they're drinkin',
A
Thinkin' that they got it made (that they got it made)
Bm G
Exchanging all precious gifts but you'd better take your diamond ring,
A
you'd better, oh you’d better pawn it babe
D G A
You used to be so amused at Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
F#m D G A
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
[Chorus 2 (X2)]
