F#G#m7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
D#m7BC#C#
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
F#G#m7D#m7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
BC#C#
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
BC#
You used to laugh about
BC#
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
BD#m7G#m7F#
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
BD#m7G#m7F#
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
G#m7C#C#
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
C#F#BC#
How does it feel?
C#F#BC#
How does it feel.
C#F#BC#
To be on your own.
C#F#BC#
With no direction home.
C#F#BC#
А complete unknown.
C#F#BC#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
F#G#m7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
D#m7BC#C#
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
F#G#m7D#m7
You never had to live out on the street,
BC#C#
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
BC#
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
BC#
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
BD#m7G#m7F#
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
BD#m7G#m7F#
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
G#m7C#C#
After he took from you everything he could steal.
C#F#BC#
How does it feel?
C#F#BC#
How does it feel.
C#F#BC#
To be on your own.
C#F#BC#
With no direction home.
C#F#BC#
А complete unknown.
C#F#BC#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
F#G#m7
You never turned around to see the frowns
D#m7BC#C#
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
F#G#m7D#m7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
BC#C#
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
BC#
You said youʼd never compromise
BC#
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
BD#m7G#m7F#
Heʼs not selling any alibis
BD#m7G#m7F#
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
G#m7C#C#
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
C#F#BC#
How does it feel?
C#F#BC#
How does it feel.
C#F#BC#
To be on your own.
C#F#BC#
With no direction home.
C#F#BC#
А complete unknown.
C#F#BC#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
F#G#m7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
D#m7BC#C#
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
F#G#m7D#m7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
BC#C#
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
BC#
You used to be so amused
BC#
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
BD#m7G#m7F#
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
BD#m7G#m7F#
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
G#m7C#C#
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
C#F#BC#
How does it feel?
C#F#BC#
How does it feel.
C#F#BC#
To be on your own.
C#F#BC#
With no direction home.
C#F#BC#
А complete unknown.
C#F#BC#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
