Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone: chords

C                     Dm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
       Em                 F
You threw the bums a dime in your prime,
G               G
   Didn't you?
C                     Dm
 People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
        Em
You're bound to fall"
      F                   G             G
You thought they were all   kiddin' you
F             G
  You used to   laugh about
F                    G
  Everybody that was   hangin' out
F         Em    Dm         C
 Now you don't talk so loud
F        Em    Dm          C
Now you don't seem so proud
   Dm                         F
About having to be scrounging
               G    G
For your next meal.

Chorus:
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
         G         C  F  G
  To be without a home
          G           C  F  G
  Like a complete unknown
          G        C   F  G
  Like a rolling stone?

G  C  F  G  G  G  G

        C           Dm
You've gone to the finest school
     Em
All right, Miss Lonely
          F
But you know you only used to get
G              G
  Juiced in it
       C
And nobody has ever taught you
 Dm                   Em
How to live on the street
                F
And now you're gonna have to get
G            G
  Used to it
F                    G
  You said you'd never compromise
F                                   G
 With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
F         Em        Dm     C
He's not selling any alibis
F                      Em    Dm         C
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
     Dm                 F      G    G
And say do you want to make a deal?

Chorus:
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
        G       C  F  G
  To be on your own
             G       C  F  G
  With no direction home
              G       C  F  G
  Like a complete unknown
          G        C   F  G
  Like a rolling stone?

G  C  F  G  G  G  G

   C               Dm
You never turned around to see
          Em                         F
The frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did
G                G
  Tricks for you
     C                       Dm
You never understood that it ain't no good
      Em                 F
You shouldn't let other people
         G               G
Get your   kicks for you
F
  You used to ride on the chrome horse
          G          F
With your   diplomat
                              G
Who carried on his shoulder a   Siamese cat
F           Em               Dm       C
  Ain't it hard when you discover that
F            Em      Dm         C
  He really wasn't where it's at
Dm                                F
After he took from you everything
           G    G
He could steal.

Chorus:
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
        G       C  F  G
  To be on your own
             G       C  F  G
  With no direction home
              G       C  F  G
  Like a complete unknown
          G        C   F  G
  Like a rolling stone?

G  C  F  G  G  G  G

C                   Dm                 Em
  Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
          F                       G              G
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
C              Dm             Em
 Exchanging all precious gifts
                  F
But you'd better take your diamond ring,
G                           G
  You'd better pawn it babe
F                G           F
  You used to be   so amused
                    G
At Napoleon in rags   and the language that he used
F                    Em                Dm       C
  Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
F                   Em             Dm           C
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Dm
  You're invisible now
                   F        G   G
You got no secrets   to conceal

Chorus:
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
   G           C  F  G
  How does it feel
           G    C  F  G
  To be on your own
             G       C  F  G
  With no direction home
              G       C  F  G
  Like a complete unknown
          G        C   F  G
  Like a rolling stone?
