Like a rolling stone – Dylan                 Back

 

C                   Dm7                  C                       F

Once upon a time you dressed so fine, you threw the bums a dime in your prime

G7

      Didn’t you?

C                 Dm7               C                  F

People’d call, say beware doll you’re bound to fall, you thought they were all

G7

      Kiddin’ you

F                G                F                  G

     You used to       laugh about       ev’rybody that was      hangin’ out

F            C     Dm7     C     F           C     Dm7     C

     Now you don’t  talk    so loud,      now you  don’t  seem so  proud

F                                             G

   About having to be scrounging for your next  meal

 

              C     F    G   F            C  F   G         F        C  F  G

How does it  feel,                  how does it  feel,                  to be without home

       F            C     F   G          F       C        F   G

Like a complete un-  known                 Like a rolling  stone

 

C                       Dm7                         C                    F

You’ve gone to the finest school all right Miss Lonely but you know you only used

     G7

get        juiced in it

     C              Dm7                      C                      F

And nobody’s ever taught you how to live on the street and now you’re gonna have

        G7

to get         used to it

F                      G             F

   You said you’d never      compromise     with the mystery tramp but now you

G

    realize

F           C         Dm7     C    F                    C       Dm7

    He’s not selling any        ali- bis        as you stare into the vacuum          of his

C           F                                 G

eyes   And ask him do you want to make a deal?

 

C     F    G   F             C  F   G           F       C   F G

How does it   feel,                   how does it  feel,                  to be without home

       F            C     F   G          F       C        F   G

Like a complete un-  known                 Like a rolling  stone

 

C                          Dm7                   C                      F

You never turned around to see    the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns when

                             G7

they all come down and did           tricks for you

C                                Dm7               C                               F

     You never understood that it  ain’t  no good you  shouldn’t let other people      

             G7

get your               kicks for you

F                                                 G

    You used to ride on the chrome horse with your       diplomat

F                                G

    who carried on his shoulder a          Siamese cat

F       C                   Dm7     C    F            C      Dm7       C

Ain’t it hard when you dis- covered that       he really wasn’t where it’s  at

F                                           G

after he took from you everything he could  steal

 

C     F    G   F             C  F   G           F       C   F G

How does it   feel,                   how does it  feel,                  to be without home

       F            C     F   G          F       C        F   G

Like a complete un-  known                 Like a rolling  stone

 

C                          Dm7                       C                 F

Princess on the steeple and  all      the pretty people ‘re drinkin’, thinkin      that

          G7

they’ve        got it made

C                      Dm7                              C

Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things but you’d better lift your

F                         G7

diamond ring you’d better pawn it babe

F               G          F                               G

You used to be so amused at Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

F             C              Dm7     C

Go to him, he calls you, you can’t re- fuse

F              C                Dm7       C

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose,

               F                                                       G

You’re in- visible now, you got no secrets to con- ceal

 

C     F    G   F             C  F   G           F       C   F G

How does it   feel,                   how does it  feel,                  to be without home

       F            C     F   G          F       C        F   G

Like a complete un-  known                 Like a rolling  stone
