A truly great song, I couldn?t believe it wasn?t tabbed. There is no lead in this song, just arpeggios,
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?

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

You gone to the finest school, alright miss lonely

And now you?re just gonna have to get used to it.

You said you?d never comprimise, with the mystery tramp, but now you realise

And say do you want to make a deal?

Like a rollin? stone.

Verse:
C Dm Em F
Oh you never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns

When they all did tricks for you.

Never understood that it ain?t no good, you shouldn?t let other people get

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?

How does it feel?
C F G
To hell be on your own,

With no direction home,

Like a complete unknown,
C F G
Like a rollin? stone

Princess on a steeple and all the pretty people they?re all

Exchanging all precious gifts, but you better take that Diamond ring

You better pawn it babe.
Bridge:

You used to be so amused, at Napoleon in regs and the language that he used.

Go ahead now, he calls you, you can?t refuse, when you got nothing you got nothing to lose.

You?re invisible now you got no secrets to conceal.
Chorus:
C F G
How does it feel?

How does it feel?

To be on your own,

No direction home,

Like a rollin? stone.
