[verse]
C                    Dm7
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
    Em                    F
You threw the bums a dime in your prime,
G
 didn't you?
C                      Dm7
  People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
       Em
you're bound to fall" You thought
  F           G
they were all  a kiddin' you
F             G
  You used to   laugh about
F                    G
  Everybody that was   hangin' out
F         Em   Dm7         C
 Now you don't talk so loud
F         Em   Dm7          C
 Now you don't seem so proud
 Dm7
About having to be scrounging
F              G
 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

[verse]
           C
Aww, You've gone to the
  Dm7                   Em
finest school all right, Miss Lonely
        F
But you know you only used to get
G
 juiced in it
  C
Nobody has ever taught you
 Dm7                    Em
how to live out on the street
               F
And now you're gonna have to get
G
 used to it
F                    G
  You said you'd never  compromise
F
  With the mystery tramp, but now you
G
 realize
F         Em         Dm7     C
 He's not selling any  alibis
      F               Em      Dm7       C
As you stare into the vacuum  of his eyes
    Dm7                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
a complete unknown
                    C  F  G
Like a rolling stone

[verse]
        C              Dm7
Aww, You never turned around to
see the frowns
Em
  On the jugglers and the
F                        G
clowns when they all did   tricks for you
    C                        Dm7
You never understood that it ain't no good
    Em
You shouldn't let other
F               G
people get your   kicks for you
F
  You used to ride on the chrome
                G
horse with your   diplomat
F
  Who carried on his shoulder a
G
  Siamese cat
F             Em            Dm7      C
 Ain't it hard  when you discover that
F          Em      Dm7         C
 He really wasn't  where it's at
     Dm7
After he took from you everything
F          G
  he could steal.

[chorus]
                C  F  G
How does it feel
                C  F  G
How does it feel
                       C  F  G
To have you on your own
                      C  F  G
With no direction home
                      C  F  G
Like a complete unknown
                    C  F  G

[verse]
   C
Aww, Princess on the
Dm7                 Em
steeple and all the pretty people
            F                         G
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they
got it made
C                Dm7          Em
 Exchanging all precious gifts
                 F
But you'd better take your diamond ring,
G
 you'd better pawn it babe
F               G
  You used to be so amused
F
  At Napoleon in rags
G
 and the language that he used
F                  Em
 Go to him now, he calls you, you
  Dm7         C
can't refuse
F                   Em
 When you ain't got nothing,
       Dm7            C
you got nothing to lose
Dm7
   You're invisible now, you got no
        F        G
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
