1st verse :
C C - Dm7 Dm7 -
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
C C - F F -
You threw the bums a dime in your prime,

People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"

About having to be scrounging for your next meal

Like a rolling stone?

You said you'd never compromise
F F G G
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Dm Dm F F G G G G
And say do you want to make a deal?

C C - F F - G G
How does it feel

How does it feel

A A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns
F F - G G
On the jugglers and the clowns, when they all come down and did

After he took from you everything he could steal

With no direction home

A A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

But you'd better take your diamond ring,

At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

About this song: Like A Rolling Stone

Spearheading Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Like A Rolling Stone tells a surrealistic fairytale of a girl falling from high society. Notable not only because of the new rock sound, but also because of its length (clocking in at just over 6 minutes, it was an extremely long track for the time), it became Dylan's biggest hit up till then, reaching #2 in the UK Pop Singles Charts. It quickly became a live favourite, most memorably perhaps as a closer for most of Dylan's 1966 World Tour (documented briliantly in The Bootleg Series, Volume 4: Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" ).
