[Verse]
G Am
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Bm C D
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
G Am
People'd call, say Beware doll,
Bm C D
you're bound to fall. You thought they were all kiddin' you
[Pre-chorus]
C D C
You used to laugh about
D
Everybody that was hangin' out
C Bm Am G
Now you don't talk so loud
C Bm Am G
Now you don't seem so proud
Am 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 D
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse]
G Am Bm
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 Am Bm
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
C D
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
[Pre-chorus]
C D C
You said you'd never compromise
D
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
C Bm Am G
He's not selling any alibis
C Bm Am G
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Am 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
Like a complete unknown
G C D D
Like a rolling stone
[Verse]
G Am
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
Bm C D
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
G Am Bm
You never understood that it ain't no good
C D
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
[Pre-chorus]
C D C
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
D
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
C Bm Am G
Ain't it hard when you discover that
C Bm Am G
He wasn't really where it's at
Am 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 be on your own
G C D
With no direction home
G C D
Like a complete unknown
G C D D
Like a rolling stone
[Verse]
G Am Bm
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
C D
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
G Am Bm
Exchanging all kind of precious gifts
C D
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
[Pre-chorus]
C D C
You used to be so amused
D
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
C Bm Am G
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
C Bm Am G
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Am 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
