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