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

[Verse 1]
[C]Once upon a time,
you dressed [Dm]so fine
[Em]Threw the bums a dime [F]in your prime,
[G]didn't you?
[C]People'd call, [Dm]say, "Beware doll,
[Em]you're bound to fall"
[F]You thought they were [G]all kiddin' [F]you

[Verse 2]
You used [G]to laugh [F]about everybody
that [G]was hangin' [F]out
Now [Em]you don't [Dm]talk so [C]loud,
[F]now you don[Em]'t seem so [Dm]prou[C]d
[Dm]About having to be scrounging
around for your nex[G]t meal

[Verse 3]
[G]
How does [C]it feel, [G]how does it fee[C]l[F][G]
To be on your own with
no direction [C]home?[G]
Like a complete un[C]known,
[F]lik[G]e a rolling stone
[C][F][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]You've gone to the finest sch[Dm]ool all right,
[Em]Miss Lonely
Don't you [F]know you only used
[G]to get juiced in it?
[C]Nobody has ever taught you [Dm]how
to live on the [Em]street
Now you find out you're gon
[F]na have to [G]get used to it

[Verse 5]
[F]
You said you'd [G]never compromise
[F]With the mystery tramp
but now [G]you realize
[F]He's not [Em]selling any [Dm]alibis[C]
[F]As you stare into [Em]the vacuum [D]of his[Dm] eyes
[C]And say[Dm],"Do you want
to [F]make a [G]deal?"

[Verse 6]
[G]How does it [C]feel, [F]how[G] does it feel[C][F][G]
To be without a home,
[C]wit[F]h n[G]o direction home?[C][G]
Like a complete unknown,
[C]lik[F]e a[G] rolling stone[C]
You never turned [F]around to see[G]

[Verse 7]
the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all came
down and did tricks for you
You never [C]under[F]stood
[G]that it ain't no good
You should never let other people get
[F]your [C]kicks for you
You [F]used to ride on the chrome horse [G]with your diplomat

[Verse 8]
Who carried on his
shoulder a Siamese [C]cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He [G]really [C]was[F]n't[G] where
it's at?
After he's taken everything
he could steal

[Verse 9]
How does it feel, how does it feel [G]To
be without a
home, with no direction home?
Like a complete unknown,

[Verse 10]
like a rolling stone
[C]Princess on the steeple [Dm]and all
the pretty [Em]people
Drinkin', [F]thinkin' that they
[G]got it mad[C]e
Exchanging [Dm]all pre[D]cious
gift[Em]s and things
But take [F]your diamond ring [G]down and pawn it,

[Verse 11]
babe
[F]
You used to be [G]so amused
[F]At Napoleon in rags
[G]and the language that he [F]used
Go to him [Em]now,
he calls [D]you, and you can[Dm]'t re[C]fuse
[F]When you ain't got not[Em]hing,
you [D]got nothing [C]to lose
You're [Dm]invisible,
you got no secrets [F]to [G]conceal

[Verse 12]
[G]
How does [C]it feel,
[G]how does it [C]fee[G]l
To be without a [C]home,
[G]with no direction hom[C]e?[F][G]
Like a complete un[C]known, [F]lik[G]e a rolling stone[C][G]
