Intro: C#

Verse:
 C#                    D#m
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
    Fm                    F#            G#
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnʼt you?
 C#                      D#m
Peopleʼd call, say, "Beware doll,
       Fm                         F#             G#
youʼre bound to fall" You thought they were all   kiddinʼ you

 F#             G#
You used to   laugh about
 F#                    G#
Everybody that was   hanginʼ out

 F#         Fm   D#m       C#
Now you donʼt talk so loud
 F#         Fm   D#m         C#
Now you donʼt seem so proud
     D#m                      F#              G#
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

Chorus:
             C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
              C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
                  C#  F#  G#
To be without a home
                     C#  F#  G#
Like a complete unknown
                   C#  F#  G#
Like a rolling stone

C# F# G#

Verse:
           C#            D#m                    Fm
Aww, Youʼve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
        F#                         G#
But you know you only used to get   juiced in it
  C#                        D#m                 Fm
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
               F#                 G#
And now youʼre gonna have to get   used to it

 F#                    G#
You said youʼd never compromise
 F#                                    G#
With the mystery tramp, but now you  realize

 F#         Fm         D#m    C#
Heʼs not selling any  alibis
 F#                      Fm     D#m      C#
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
    D#m                F#       G#
And say do you want to make a deal?

Chorus:
            C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
            C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
             C#  F#  G#
To be on your own
                   C#  F#  G#
With no direction home
                     C#  F#  G#
Like a complete unknown
                    C#  F#  G#
Like a rolling stone

C# F# G#

Verse:
        C#              D#m                     Fm
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
                        F#                        G#
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
    C#                        D#m
You never understood that it ainʼt no good
    Fm                  F#               G#
You shouldnʼt let other people get your   kicks for you

 F#                                                G#
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
 F#                               G#
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

 F#             Fm           D#m       C#
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
 F#          Fm     D#m          C#
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
     D#m                          F#         G#
After he took from you everything he could steal.

Chorus:
              C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
              C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
               C#  F#  G#
To be on your own
                  C#  F#  G#
With no direction home
                    C#  F#  G#
Like a complete unknown
                  C#  F#  G#
Like a rolling stone

C# F# G#

Verse:
   C#                 D#m                  Fm
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
            F#                            G#
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that they got it made
 C#                D#m           Fm
Exchanging all precious gifts
                 F#                      G#
But youʼd better take your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe

 F#               G#
You used to be so amused
 F#                    G#
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

 F#                  Fm             D#m        C#
Go to him now, he calls you, you canʼt refuse
 F#             Fm              D#m           C#
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
       D#m                        F#           G#
Youʼre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

Chorus:
              C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
              C#  F#  G#
How does it feel
               C#  F#  G#
To be on your own
                    C#  F#  G#
With no direction home
                    C#  F#  G#
Like a complete unknown
                  C#  F#  G#
Like a rolling stone

C# F# G#
