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