G#A#m7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Fm7C#D#D#
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnʼt you?
G#A#m7Fm7
People call, say, Beware, doll, youʼre bound to fall.
C#D#D#
You thought they were all kiddinʼ you.
C#D#
You used to laugh about
C#D#
Everybody that was hanginʼ out,
C#Fm7A#m7G#
But now you donʼt talk so loud,
C#Fm7A#m7G#
Now you donʼt seem so proud,
A#m7D#D#
About havinʼ to be scrounginʼ your next meal.
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel?
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel.
D#G#C#D#
To be on your own.
D#G#C#D#
With no direction home.
D#G#C#D#
А complete unknown.
D#G#C#D#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
G#A#m7
Youʼve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
Fm7C#D#D#
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
G#A#m7Fm7
You never had to live out on the street,
C#D#D#
But now youʼre gonna have to get used to it.
C#D#
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
C#D#
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
C#Fm7A#m7G#
Ainʼt it hard when you discover that
C#Fm7A#m7G#
He really wasnʼt where itʼs at
A#m7D#D#
After he took from you everything he could steal.
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel?
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel.
D#G#C#D#
To be on your own.
D#G#C#D#
With no direction home.
D#G#C#D#
А complete unknown.
D#G#C#D#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
G#A#m7
You never turned around to see the frowns
Fm7C#D#D#
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
G#A#m7Fm7
Never understood that it ainʼt no good.
C#D#D#
You shouldnʼt let other people get your kicks for you.
C#D#
You said youʼd never compromise
C#D#
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
C#Fm7A#m7G#
Heʼs not selling any alibis
C#Fm7A#m7G#
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
A#m7D#D#
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel?
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel.
D#G#C#D#
To be on your own.
D#G#C#D#
With no direction home.
D#G#C#D#
А complete unknown.
D#G#C#D#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
G#A#m7
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Fm7C#D#D#
Theyʼre all drinkinʼ, thinkinʼ that theyʼve got it made.
G#A#m7Fm7
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
C#D#D#
Youʼd better lift your diamond ring, youʼd better pawn it babe.
C#D#
You used to be so amused
C#D#
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
C#Fm7A#m7G#
Go to him now he calls you you canʼt refuse
C#Fm7A#m7G#
When you got nothinʼ you got nothinʼ to lose
A#m7D#D#
Your invisible now youʼve got no secrets to conceal.
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel?
D#G#C#D#
How does it feel.
D#G#C#D#
To be on your own.
D#G#C#D#
With no direction home.
D#G#C#D#
А complete unknown.
D#G#C#D#
Like a rollinʼ stone.
