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