A#Cm7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Gm7D#FF
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
A#Cm7Gm7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
D#FF
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
D#F
You used to laugh about
D#F
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
D#Gm7Cm7A#
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
D#Gm7Cm7A#
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
Cm7FF
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
FA#D#F
How does it feel?
FA#D#F
How does it feel.
FA#D#F
To be on your own.
FA#D#F
With no direction home.
FA#D#F
А complete unknown.
FA#D#F
Like a rollinʼ stone.
A#Cm7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
Gm7D#FF
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
A#Cm7Gm7
You never had to live out on the street,
D#FF
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
D#F
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
D#F
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
D#Gm7Cm7A#
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
D#Gm7Cm7A#
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
Cm7FF
After he took from you everything he could steal.
FA#D#F
How does it feel?
FA#D#F
How does it feel.
FA#D#F
To be on your own.
FA#D#F
With no direction home.
FA#D#F
А complete unknown.
FA#D#F
Like a rollinʼ stone.
A#Cm7
You never turned around to see the frowns
Gm7D#FF
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
A#Cm7Gm7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
D#FF
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
D#F
You said youʼd never compromise
D#F
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
D#Gm7Cm7A#
Heʼs not selling any alibis
D#Gm7Cm7A#
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Cm7FF
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
FA#D#F
How does it feel?
FA#D#F
How does it feel.
FA#D#F
To be on your own.
FA#D#F
With no direction home.
FA#D#F
А complete unknown.
FA#D#F
Like a rollinʼ stone.
A#Cm7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Gm7D#FF
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
A#Cm7Gm7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
D#FF
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
D#F
You used to be so amused
D#F
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
D#Gm7Cm7A#
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
D#Gm7Cm7A#
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
Cm7FF
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
FA#D#F
How does it feel?
FA#D#F
How does it feel.
FA#D#F
To be on your own.
FA#D#F
With no direction home.
FA#D#F
А complete unknown.
FA#D#F
Like a rollinʼ stone.
