FGm7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Dm7A#CC
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
FGm7Dm7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
A#CC
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
A#C
You used to laugh about
A#C
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
A#Dm7Gm7F
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
A#Dm7Gm7F
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
Gm7CC
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
CFA#C
How does it feel?
CFA#C
How does it feel.
CFA#C
To be on your own.
CFA#C
With no direction home.
CFA#C
А complete unknown.
CFA#C
Like a rollinʼ stone.
FGm7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
Dm7A#CC
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
FGm7Dm7
You never had to live out on the street,
A#CC
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
A#C
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
A#C
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
A#Dm7Gm7F
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
A#Dm7Gm7F
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
Gm7CC
After he took from you everything he could steal.
CFA#C
How does it feel?
CFA#C
How does it feel.
CFA#C
To be on your own.
CFA#C
With no direction home.
CFA#C
А complete unknown.
CFA#C
Like a rollinʼ stone.
FGm7
You never turned around to see the frowns
Dm7A#CC
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
FGm7Dm7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
A#CC
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
A#C
You said youʼd never compromise
A#C
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
A#Dm7Gm7F
Heʼs not selling any alibis
A#Dm7Gm7F
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Gm7CC
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
CFA#C
How does it feel?
CFA#C
How does it feel.
CFA#C
To be on your own.
CFA#C
With no direction home.
CFA#C
А complete unknown.
CFA#C
Like a rollinʼ stone.
FGm7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Dm7A#CC
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
FGm7Dm7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
A#CC
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
A#C
You used to be so amused
A#C
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
A#Dm7Gm7F
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
A#Dm7Gm7F
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
Gm7CC
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
CFA#C
How does it feel?
CFA#C
How does it feel.
CFA#C
To be on your own.
CFA#C
With no direction home.
CFA#C
А complete unknown.
CFA#C
Like a rollinʼ stone.
