Intro: C

Verse:
 C                    Dm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
    Em                    F            G
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnʼt you?
 C                      Dm
Peopleʼd call, say, "Beware doll,
       Em                         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         Em   Dm       C
Now you donʼt talk so loud
 F         Em   Dm         C
Now you donʼt seem so proud
     Dm                      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            Dm                    Em
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                        Dm                 Em
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         Em         Dm    C
Heʼs not selling any  alibis
 F                      Em     Dm      C
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
    Dm                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              Dm                     Em
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                        Dm
You never understood that it ainʼt no good
    Em                  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             Em           Dm       C
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
 F          Em     Dm          C
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
     Dm                          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                 Dm                  Em
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
            F                            G
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that they got it made
 C                Dm           Em
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                  Em             Dm        C
Go to him now, he calls you, you canʼt refuse
 F             Em              Dm           C
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
       Dm                        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
