[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Once upon a time you [Dm]dressed so fine
[Em]Threw the bums a dime [F]in your prime,
[G]didn't you?
[C]People call say[Dm] "Beware doll,
you're [Em]bound to fall"
You thought [F]they were all
[G]kidding you
[F]You used to [G]laugh about
[F]Everybody that was[G] hanging out
[F]Now you don[Em]'t tal[Dm]k so lou[C]d
[F]Now you don[Em]'t see[Dm]m so pro[C]ud
A[Dm]bout having to be scrounging
[F]your next mea[G]l

[Chorus 1]
How does it [C]feel,[F][G]
how does it [C]feel?[F][G]
To be without a [C]home[F][G]
Like a complete un[C]known,[F][G]
like a rolling [C]stone[F][G]
[C][F][G][G]

[Verse 2]
Oh [C]you've gone to the [Dm]finest schools,
al[Em]right Miss Lonely
But you [F]know you only used to [G]get juiced in it
No[C]body's ever taught you
[Dm]how to live out on the s[Em]treet
And now you're [F]gonna have to [G]get used to it
[F]You say you never [G]compromise
[F]With the mystery tramp,
but now [G]you realize
[F]He's not sel[Em]ling any[Dm] ali[C]bis
[F]As you stare into the [Em]vacuum [Dm]of his ey[C]es
And [Dm]say do you want to
[F]make a [G]deal?

[Chorus 2]
How does it [C]feel,[F][G]
how does it [C]feel?[F][G]
To be on your [C]own,[F][G]
with no direction [C]home[F][G]
A complete un[C]known,[F][G]
like a rolling [C]stone[F][G]
[C][F][G][G]

[Verse 3]
Oh, [C]you never turned a[Dm]round
to see the [Em]frowns
On the jugglers and the [F]clowns
when they all [G]did tricks for you
You [C]never understood that it [Dm]ain't no good
You [Em]shouldn't let other [F]people
get [G]your kicks for you
[F]You used to ride on a chrome horse
with [G]your diplomat
[F]Who carried on his shoulder
[G]a Siamese cat
[F]Ain't it har[Em]d
when you dis[Dm]covered [C]that
[F]He really was[Em]n't whe[Dm]re it's at[C]
[Dm]After he took from you
[F]everything he could [G]steal

[Chorus 3]
How does it [C]feel,[F][G]
how does it [C]feel?[F][G]
To have you on your [C]own,[F][G]
with no direction [C]home[F][G]
Like a complete un[C]known,[F][G]
like a rolling [C]stone[F][G]
[C][F][G][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Oh, princess on a [Dm]steeple
and all the [Em]pretty people
They're [F]all drinking, thinking
that [G]they've got it made
[C]Exchanging all[Dm] precious gifts
[Em]But you better take [F]your diamond ring,
[G]you better pawn it babe
[F]You used to be
[G]so amused
[F]At Napoleon in rags
[G]and the language that he used
[F]Go to him now, he cal[Em]ls you,
you can't [Dm]refuse[C]
[F]When you ain't got no[Em]thing,
you [Dm]got nothing to l[C]ose
[Dm]You're invisible now, you've got no secrets
[F]to concea[G]l

[Chorus 4]
How does it [C]feel,[F][G]
how does it [C]feel?[F][G]
To be on your [C]own,[F][G]
with no direction [C]home[F][G]
Like a complete un[C]known,[F][G]
like a rolling [C]stone[F][G]
[C][F][G]
[C][F][G]
[Fade out]
