C                    Dm7
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
    Em                    F            G
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
C                      Dm7
  People'd call, say, "Beware doll
       Em                         F            G
you're bound to fall" You thought they were all a kiddin' you

F             G
  You used to   laugh about
F                    G
  Everybody that was   hangin' out

F          Em   Dm7          C
  Now you don't talk so loud
F          Em   Dm7           C
  Now you don't seem so proud

     Dm7                     F              G
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                     C  F  G
To be without a home
                        C  F  G
Like a complete unknown
                     C  F  G
Like a rolling stone

( C  F  G )

           C            Dm7                   Em
Aww, You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
        F                         G
But you know you only used to get   juiced in it
  C                        Dm7                    Em
Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
               F                 G
And now you're gonna have to get   used to it

F                     G
   You said you'd never compromise
F                                     G
   With the mystery tramp, but now you  realize

F          Em         Dm7     C
  He's not selling any  alibis
F                       Em      Dm7       C
  As you stare into the vacuum  of his eyes

    Dm7               F        G
And say do you want to  make a deal?

                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                  C  F  G
To be on your own
                       C  F  G
With no direction home
                   C  F  G
A complete unknown
                     C  F  G
Like a rolling stone

( C  F  G )

        C              Dm7                     Em
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
                        F                        G
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did   tricks for you
    C                        Dm7
You never understood that it ain't no good
    Em                  F               G
You shouldn't let other people get your   kicks for you

F                                                G
  You used to ride on the chrome horse with your   diplomat
F                               G
  Who carried on his shoulder a   Siamese cat

F              Em            Dm7      C
  Ain't it hard  when you discover that
F           Em      Dm7         C
  He really wasn't  where it's at
     Dm7                         F          G
After he took from you everything  he could steal

                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                        C  F  G
To have you on your own
                       C  F  G
With no direction home
                      C  F  G
Like a complete unknown
                     C  F  G
Like a rolling stone

( C  F  G )

   C                 Dm7                 Em
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
            F                            G
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they   got it made
C                 Dm7           Em
  Exchanging all precious gifts
                 F                      G
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe

F               G
  You used to be so amused
F                    G
  At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

F                   Em             Dm7          C
  Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
F                    Em              Dm7            C
  When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
      Dm7                       F           G
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                 C  F  G
How does it feel
                  C  F  G
To be on your own
                       C  F  G
With no direction home
                      C  F  G
Like a complete unknown
                     C  F  G
Like a rolling stone

[Final] C  F  G
