Well, you have this sort-of-right. The chords for the chorus are
Correct but the verses go like this:
>Like a Rolling Stone? (C) (F) (G)
C Dmin Emin
>You’ve gone to the finest schools alright, Miss Lonely
F G
>But you know you only used to get juiced in it
C Dmin
>Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street
Emin F G
>And now you’re gonna have to get used to it
F G
>You used to say you’d never compromise
F G
>With the mystery tramp but now you realize
F Emin Dmin C
>He’s not selling any alibis
F Emin Dmin C
>As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Dmin F G
>And say ‘Do you want to make a deal?’
G
>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

To be on your own. With no direction home.
D G C D D G C D
A complete unknown. Like a rollin’ stone.
You’ve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
You never had to live out on the street,
But now you’re gonna have to get used to it.
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
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.
You said you’d never compromise
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And he says, Do you want to make a deal?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re all drinkin’, thinkin’ that they’ve got it made.
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
You’d better lift your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe.
You used to be so amused
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you you can’t refuse
When you got nothin’ you got nothin’ to lose
Your invisible now you’ve got no secrets to conceal.
———————
In reference to the request for Bob Dylan’s Rolling Stone
This chord progression can be played anywhere on the neck, just like
Any other progression!
My favorite is for the verses: G Am Cm Dm E with a few nuances like
Fills.
Then for the chorus: G C D or if you want that minor feel: G Am D
I know a few lyrics, but give me a break for not remembering them
All,, the song is a monster and even Hendrix said to the audience at
Monterey Pop Festival, Hey, I know I missed a verse, just cool out,
Or something like that!!!!
Once upon a time you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a dime in your prime,
Didn’t you!
You used to say,stay away, stc,
You shouldn’t let other people get their
Kicks for you,
You used to laugh about,
Everybody that was hangin’ out,
Now you don’t talk so loud,
Now you don’t seem so proud,
You’re invisible now, you have no secrets
To conceal
Chorus:
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be on your own..with nop direction home,
Like a complete uknown,
Like a rolling stone….
AWWWWWWW(With nasal flaired!)
Princess on the steeple with the pretty people thinkin’
That they GOT IT MADE!
___________________, you better take your diamond ring,
You better pawn it babe.
You used to compromize,
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize,
He’s not selling any alibies,
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes,
You’re invisible now, you have no secrets to conceal…
Chorus
You went to all the finest schools. all right miss lonely,
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it,
You never learned to live out on the streets, and now you’re gonna
Have , To GET USED TO IT!
You used to be so amused,
By Napolean in rags, and the language (sweet Talk) that he used,
Go now , he calls to you, you can’t refuse,
When you’ve got nothin’, nothin’ to lose,
_________________________ forgot this part, thinks its the to
Conceal line from the last verse.
