you tell him who you've seen
      D MajorD

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
A augmentedA        Asus2Asus2       A7A7
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands

You know he's never gonna stop moving

Cause he's rollin, He's the rolling stone
Dm7Dm7                Am7Am7
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm7Dm7                Am7Am7
The sun is shining it's a new morning
C majorC       G+G         D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4
And you're going, you're going home
