LIKE A ROLLING STONE by Bob Dylan
GOnce upon a time, you Am7dressed so fine,
Em7Threw the bums a dime, Cin your prime, Ddidn't you' D
GPeople call, say &Am7quot;Beware, doll, yoEm7u're bound to fall."
You Cthought they were all Dkiddin' you.D
CYou used to Dlaugh about CEverybody that was Dhangin' out,
CBut now you Em7don't Am7talk so Gloud, CNow you Em7don't Am7seem so Gproud,
AmAbout havin' to be scroungin' your next Dmeal. D
DHow does it Gfeel' C D DHow does it Gfeel. C D
DTo be on youGr own.C D DWith no directGion hComeD.
DA complete unkGnown.C D DLike a rollin'G stonCe. D
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
You never had to live out on the street,
But now you're gonna have to get used to it.
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders 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.
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.
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 he says, "Do you want to make a deal'"
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made.
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
You'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
You used to be so amused
At Napolean 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
Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal.

I remember requesting Like a Rolling Stone a few weeks back; since then a
few other people have done the same. I got this response after I posted on
rec.music.dylan. It sounds right to me. The only thing I need are the
complete lyrics; there not at Nevada. If someone could please post or send
them to me I'd appreciate it. Here it is..
COnce upon a time you dDmressed so fine
EmYou threw the bums a dime Fin your prime
GDidn't you'
(repeat above sequence)
FYou used to lGaugh about eFverybody that was hGanging out
FNow you Emdon't Dmtalk so Cloud
FNow you Emdon't Dmseem so Cproud
Dm7About having to be sFcrounging for your next Gmeal
How does it Cfeel F G
and so on...
Thanx to howells@netcom.com (John Howells) for the original post. Lyrics
please, anyone'
Thanx-

You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
You never had to live out on the street
But now you're gonna have to get used to it
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders 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
How does it feel' How does it feel'
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone
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
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 he says, "Do you want to make a deal'"
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
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd 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 nothin' you got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal
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
