[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C C/D C/E
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/E
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 Em D C
Now you don't talk so loud
F Em D C
Now you don't seem so proud
Em 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
Am F G Am F G
To be without a home, like a complete unknown
C F G
Like a rolling stone
[Verse 2]
C C/D C/E
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/E
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 Em D C F Em D C
He's not selling any alibis, as you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Em 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
Am F G Am F G
To be on your own, with no direction home
Am F G
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
[Bridge]
Am 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)
Am 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
Em C F G
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
[Chorus 2 (X2)]
