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