Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime Didn't you?

People call to say "Beware doll, you're

bound to fall" you thought they were all kidding you.

 

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hanging out

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging your next meal

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone (hold strumming the G)

 

Awwww you've gone to the finest school all right Miss Lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

Nobodys ever taught you how to live out on the street

And now you're gonna have to get used to it

 

you said you'd never compromise

With the mystery tramp but now you realise

He's not selling any Alibi s

A# you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And say do you want to make a deal?

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone (hold strumming the G)

 

Awww you never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns as they all 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 a chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Aint it hard when you discovered that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

Ah, to be on your own

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone (hold strumming the G)

 

Awwww Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're all drinkin thinkin that they got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts

But you'd better take your diamond ring you better pawn it babe

 

You used to be so amused

At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Go to him 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 con deal

 

How does it feel

Ahh how does it feel

To be on your own

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone
