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