Tonality
GAm7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Em7CDD
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
GAm7Em7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
CDD
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
CD
You used to laugh about
CD
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
CEm7Am7G
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
CEm7Am7G
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
Am7DD
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
DGCD
How does it feel?
DGCD
How does it feel.
DGCD
To be on your own.
DGCD
With no direction home.
DGCD
А complete unknown.
DGCD
Like a rollinʼ stone.
GAm7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
Em7CDD
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
GAm7Em7
You never had to live out on the street,
CDD
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
CD
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
CD
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
CEm7Am7G
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
CEm7Am7G
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
Am7DD
After he took from you everything he could steal.
DGCD
How does it feel?
DGCD
How does it feel.
DGCD
To be on your own.
DGCD
With no direction home.
DGCD
А complete unknown.
DGCD
Like a rollinʼ stone.
GAm7
You never turned around to see the frowns
Em7CDD
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
GAm7Em7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
CDD
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
CD
You said youʼd never compromise
CD
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
CEm7Am7G
Heʼs not selling any alibis
CEm7Am7G
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Am7DD
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
DGCD
How does it feel?
DGCD
How does it feel.
DGCD
To be on your own.
DGCD
With no direction home.
DGCD
А complete unknown.
DGCD
Like a rollinʼ stone.
GAm7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Em7CDD
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
GAm7Em7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
CDD
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
CD
You used to be so amused
CD
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
CEm7Am7G
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
CEm7Am7G
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
Am7DD
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
DGCD
How does it feel?
DGCD
How does it feel.
DGCD
To be on your own.
DGCD
With no direction home.
DGCD
А complete unknown.
DGCD
Like a rollinʼ stone.
