A truly great song, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t tabbed. There is no lead in this song, just arpeggios, so just improvise.

Intro: |: C | F | C | F :|


Verse:
C Dm
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Em F G
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
C Dm Em
People call, say beware darl you’re bound to fall,
F G
You thought they were all kidding you.


Bridge
F G F G
You used to laugh about, everybody that was hanging out
F Em Dm C F Em Dm C
Now you don’t talk so loud, and now you don’t seem so proud
F G
About having to be a-scrounging 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 rollin’ stone

Verse:
C Dm Em
You gone to the finest school, alright miss lonely
F G
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
C Dm Em
Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street
F G
And now you’re just gonna have to get used to it.


Bridge:
F G F G
You said you’d never comprimise, with the mystery tramp, but now you realise
F Em Dm C F Em Dm C
That he’s not selling any alibis and as you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
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 rollin’ stone.

Verse:
C Dm Em F
Oh you never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
G
When they all did tricks for you.
C Dm Em F
Never understood that it ain’t no good, you shouldn’t let other people get
G
Your kicks for you.


Bridge:
F G F G
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
F Em Dm C F Em Dm C
Ain’t it hard when you discover that, he really wasn’t where it’s at?
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 hell be on your own,
C F G
With no direction home,
C F G
Like a complete unknown,
C F G
Like a rollin’ stone

Verse:
C Dm Em
Princess on a steeple and all the pretty people they’re all
F G
Great in thinking that they got it made.
C Dm Em F
Exchanging all precious gifts, but you better take that Diamond ring
G
You better pawn it babe.


Bridge:
F G F G
You used to be so amused, at Napoleon in regs and the language that he used.
F Em Dm C F Em Dm C
Go ahead now, he calls you, you can’t refuse, when you got nothing you got nothing to lose.
F G
You’re 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
No direction home,
C F G
Like a complete unknown,
C F G
Like a rollin’ stone.

Outro: | C | F | C | F | Repeat to fade
