ABm7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
F#m7DEE
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
ABm7F#m7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
DEE
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
DE
You used to laugh about
DE
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
DF#m7Bm7A
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
DF#m7Bm7A
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
Bm7EE
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
EADE
How does it feel?
EADE
How does it feel.
EADE
To be on your own.
EADE
With no direction home.
EADE
А complete unknown.
EADE
Like a rollinʼ stone.
ABm7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
F#m7DEE
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
ABm7F#m7
You never had to live out on the street,
DEE
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
DE
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
DE
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
DF#m7Bm7A
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
DF#m7Bm7A
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
Bm7EE
After he took from you everything he could steal.
EADE
How does it feel?
EADE
How does it feel.
EADE
To be on your own.
EADE
With no direction home.
EADE
А complete unknown.
EADE
Like a rollinʼ stone.
ABm7
You never turned around to see the frowns
F#m7DEE
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
ABm7F#m7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
DEE
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
DE
You said youʼd never compromise
DE
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
DF#m7Bm7A
Heʼs not selling any alibis
DF#m7Bm7A
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Bm7EE
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
EADE
How does it feel?
EADE
How does it feel.
EADE
To be on your own.
EADE
With no direction home.
EADE
А complete unknown.
EADE
Like a rollinʼ stone.
ABm7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
F#m7DEE
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
ABm7F#m7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
DEE
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
DE
You used to be so amused
DE
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
DF#m7Bm7A
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
DF#m7Bm7A
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
Bm7EE
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
EADE
How does it feel?
EADE
How does it feel.
EADE
To be on your own.
EADE
With no direction home.
EADE
А complete unknown.
EADE
Like a rollinʼ stone.
