LIKE A ROLLING STONE

Bob Dylan, as performed by the Rolling Stones

Tempo: 102, INTRO:

A D E / A D E / / /
                                                                                    
A Bm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
C#m D E E / /
Threw the bums a dime in your prime,  -  didn't you.               
A Bm
People call, say "Beware doll,
C#m D E E / /
You're bound to fall", you thought - they were all - kidding you.              
D / E /
        You used to  laugh about     
D / E /
        Everybody that was hanging out
D C#m Bm A
        Now you don't walk so proud      
D C#m Bm A
        Now you don't talk so loud      
Bm / D E / /
About having to be scrounging           your next meal               

/ A D E / A D E
How does it feel,                    How does it feel               
/ A D E / A D E
To be on your own,                    with no direction home               
/ A D E / A D E / / /
complete unknown                    Like a rolling stone.                                         

A Bm C#m
        You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lonely
D E / / /
But you know you only used to get          juiced in it.               
A Bm C#m
Nobody thought you'll have to live out on the street
D E / / /
But now you're gonna have to get          used to it.                   
D / E /
        You said you'd never compromise      
D / E /
        With the Mystery Tramp but now you      realize      
D C#m Bm A
That He's not selling any          alibis,
D C#m Bm A
as you stare into the vacuum           of his eyes
Bm / D E / /
And he says, "Do you want to           make a deal?"               

/ A D E / A D E
How does it feel,                    How does it feel               
/ A D E / A D E
To be on your own,                    with no direction home               
/ A D E / A D E / / /
complete unknown                    Like a rolling stone.

A Bm C#m
        Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
D E
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made
A Bm C#m
        Exchanging all kinds      of precious gifts      
D E
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
D E
        You used to be           so amused
D E
        At Napoleon in rags and the language           that he used
D C#m Bm A
        Go to him now      he calls you you can't refuse
D C#m Bm A
        When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose
Bm D E
You're invisible now - you've got no secrets to conceal

Last verse, is not on the RS CD "Stripped"

You never turned around to see the frowns on the juggles -
- and the downs.
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder 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 steel

E Bm A D C#m
