Yeah, let's change the world and smoke some pot while we're at it!
Well actually this songs is about being homeless, not some hippy
bullshit, but still... ...it's Bob Dylan.
There's a little lead guitar in this song but I haven't tabbed it.
It's not important. The chords are what's important, this is a song
to play alone on your acoustic with a harmonica. Great song, and
every guitar player should know at least one Dylan song.
INTRO:

VERSE 1:
--------
C Dm
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
Em F G
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?
C Dm Em
People call, say "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall"
F G
You thought they were all kiddin' you
PRE-CHORUS:
-----------
F G
You used to laugh about
F G
Everybody that was hangin' out
F Em Dm C
But now you don't talk so loud,
F Em Dm C
Now you don't seem so proud
Dm
About havin' to be scroungin'
F G
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
C F G
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
and now you're gonna have to get used to it
PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus]
-----------
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 say "Do you want to
make a deal?"
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own,
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
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
PRE-CHORUS: [play like previous pre-choruses]
-----------
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 steal
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
-------
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To have to be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
VERSE 4: [play like verses 1,2 & 3]
--------
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
PRE-CHORUS: [play like previous pre-choruses]
-----------
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 nothin' you got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now you've got no secrets
to conceal
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
-------
How does it feel?
Aaah, how does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
[fade out playing 'C F G' and playing on the harmonica...]
