[Verse 1]
OCnce upon a C/Dtime you dressed so C/Efine
You threw the bums a dFime in your prGime, didn't you?
  CPeople'd call, say, "C/DBeware C/Edoll, you're bound to fall"
  FYou thought they were aGll kiddin' you
  FYou used to   Glaugh about
  FEverybody that was    Ghangin' out
  FNow you don't       EmtaDlk so loudC  
  FNow you don't     EmseDem so proudC  
AbEmout having to be scrounging    Ffor your next mGeal.
[Chorus]
How does it fCeel,    F     Ghow does it fCeelF  G  
To be without a hAmome,     F        Glike a complete unAmknownF  G  
Like a rolling stConeF  G  
[Verse 2]
You've goCne to the fC/Dinest school all rC/Eight, 
Miss Lonely but you kFnow you only used to get   Gjuiced in it                       
And noCbody has ever taught you how to C/Dlive on the stC/Ereet 
And now you find out youF're gonna have to get    Gused to it
  FYou said you'd neGver compromise,    Fwith the mystery tramp, but know you   Grealize
  FHe's not selling   Emany aliDbis,       C    Fas you stare iEmnto the vacDuum of his eCyes
And Emsay do you want to   Fmake a dGeal? 
[Chorus 2]
How does it fCeel,     F       Ghow does it fCeelF  G  
To be on your oAmwn,    F        Gwith no direction hAmomeF  G  
Like a complete unkAmnown,   F    Glike a rolling stone
[Bridge]
PrAmincess on the steeple and all the pretty people theFy're drinkin', 
Thinkin' that they gGot it made (that they got it made)
ExchaAmnging all precious gifts but you'd better tFake your diamond ring,

You used to Cbe so amFused at Napoleon in rGags and the language that he used
Go to him nEmow, he calls you, you can't reCfuseF  G
