[Verse]
G# A#m7
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Cm C# D#
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
G# A#m7
People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
Cm C# D#
you're bound to fall" You thought they were all a kiddin' you
C# D#
You used to laugh about
C# D#
Everybody that was hangin' out
C# Cm A#m7 G#
Now you don't talk so loud
C# Cm A#m7 G#
Now you don't seem so proud
A#m7 C# D#
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
[Chorus]
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
To be without a home
G# C# D#
Like a complete unknown
G# C# D#
Like a rolling stone
[Instrumental]
G# C# D#
[Verse]
G# A#m7 Cm
Aww, You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
C# D#
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
G# A#m7 Cm
Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
C# D#
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
C# D#
You said you'd never compromise
C# D#
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
C# Cm A#m7 G#
He's not selling any alibis
C# Cm A#m7 G#
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
A#m7 C# D#
And say do you want to make a deal?
[Chorus]
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
To be on your own
G# C# D#
With no direction home
G# C# D#
F complete unknown
G# C# D#
Like a rolling stone
[Instrumental]
G# C# D#
[Verse]
G# A#m7 Cm
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
C# D#
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
G# A#m7
You never understood that it ain't no good
Cm C# D#
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
C# D#
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
C# D#
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
C# Cm A#m7 G#
Ain't it hard when you discover that
C# Cm A#m7 G#
He really wasn't where it's at
A#m7 C# D#
After he took from you everything he could steal.
[Chorus]
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
To have you on your own
G# C# D#
With no direction home
G# C# D#
Like a complete unknown
G# C# D#
Like a rolling stone
[Instrumental]
G# C# D#
[Verse]
G# A#m7 Cm
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
C# D#
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
G# A#m7 Cm
Exchanging all precious gifts
C# D#
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
C# D#
You used to be so amused
C# D#
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
C# Cm A#m7 G#
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
C# Cm A#m7 G#
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
A#m7 C# D#
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
[Chorus]
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
How does it feel
G# C# D#
To be on your own
G# C# D#
With no direction home
G# C# D#
Like a complete unknown
G# C# D#
Like a rolling stone
[Instrumental]
