EF#m7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
C#m7ABB
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
EF#m7C#m7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
ABB
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
AB
You used to laugh about
AB
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
AC#m7F#m7E
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
AC#m7F#m7E
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
F#m7BB
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
BEAB
How does it feel?
BEAB
How does it feel.
BEAB
To be on your own.
BEAB
With no direction home.
BEAB
А complete unknown.
BEAB
Like a rollinʼ stone.
EF#m7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
C#m7ABB
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
EF#m7C#m7
You never had to live out on the street,
ABB
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
AB
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
AB
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
AC#m7F#m7E
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
AC#m7F#m7E
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
F#m7BB
After he took from you everything he could steal.
BEAB
How does it feel?
BEAB
How does it feel.
BEAB
To be on your own.
BEAB
With no direction home.
BEAB
А complete unknown.
BEAB
Like a rollinʼ stone.
EF#m7
You never turned around to see the frowns
C#m7ABB
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
EF#m7C#m7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
ABB
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
AB
You said youʼd never compromise
AB
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
AC#m7F#m7E
Heʼs not selling any alibis
AC#m7F#m7E
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
F#m7BB
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
BEAB
How does it feel?
BEAB
How does it feel.
BEAB
To be on your own.
BEAB
With no direction home.
BEAB
А complete unknown.
BEAB
Like a rollinʼ stone.
EF#m7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
C#m7ABB
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
EF#m7C#m7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
ABB
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
AB
You used to be so amused
AB
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
AC#m7F#m7E
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
AC#m7F#m7E
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
F#m7BB
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
BEAB
How does it feel?
BEAB
How does it feel.
BEAB
To be on your own.
BEAB
With no direction home.
BEAB
А complete unknown.
BEAB
Like a rollinʼ stone.
