Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
I saw this on 7 Ages of Rock. He uses a capo live, well in this footage he did. It seems
easier to play with a capo on especially if you're going to be doubling up and playing
harp too. So heres what you do:
Get any type of harmonica in the key of C, a holder that goes over your neck,
take your capo and place it on the 5 fret.

[Verse 1]
G Am
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Bm C D
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
G Am
People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
Bm C D
you're bound to fall" you thought they were all.. kiddin' you
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You used to.. laugh about
C D
Everybody that was.. hangin' out
C Csus2/B Am G
Now you don't.. talk so loud
C Csus2/B Am G
Now you don't.. seem so proud
Am C D
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
[Chorus]
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
To be without a home
G C D
Like a complete unknown
G C D
Like a rolling stone
G C D D
[Verse 2]
G Am Bm
Aww, You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
C D
But you know you only used to get.. juiced in it
G Am Bm
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
C D
And now you're gonna have to get.. used to it
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You said you'd never compromise
C D
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
C Csus2/B Am G
He's not selling any alibis
C Csus2/B Am G
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Am C D
And say do you want to make a deal?
[Chorus]
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
To be on your own
G C D
With no direction home
G C D
Like a complete unknown
G C D
Like a rolling stone
G C D D
[Verse 3]
G Am Bm
Aww, You never turned around to see the frowns
C D
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did.. tricks for you
G Am
You never understood that it ain't no good
Bm C D
You shouldn't let other people get your.. kicks for you
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
C D
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
C Csus2/B Am G
Ain't it hard when you discover that
C Csus2/B Am G
He really wasn't where it's at
Am C D
After he took from you everything he could steal.
[Chorus]
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
To be on your own
G C D
With no direction home
G C D
Like a complete unknown
G C D
Like a rolling stone
G C D D
[Verse 4]
G Am Bm
Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
C D
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they.. got it made
G Am Bm
Exchanging all precious gifts
C D
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You used to be so amused
C D
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
C Csus2/B Am G
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
C Csus2/B Am G
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Am C D
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
[Chorus]
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
How does it feel
G C D
To be on your own
G C D
With no direction home
G C D
Like a complete unknown
G C D
Like a rolling stone
