Intro:
B7B7 E MajorE
Verse 1:
E MajorE F#F#
As the years roll on I tramp along beside them,
B7B7 E MajorE
never have no cares so never need to hide them.
A augmentedA F#F#
From the sunny north down to the south I roam,
B7B7 E MajorE
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
Verse 2:
F#F#
Sometimes I settle down and the road forgets me,
B7B7 E MajorE
Then the wanderlust comes on and soon upsets me,
A augmentedA F#F#
So I down tools and I just leave work alone,
B7B7 E MajorE
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
Chorus:
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE
My mates are far and many as I tramp through out the years,
A augmentedA E MajorE F#F# B7B7
Some are rich and some are poor but o'er a glass of beer,
E MajorE F#F#
They're all decent blokes who share a joke with no distinction shown,
B7B7 E MajorE
And they're the mates of this old rolling stone.
E MajorE
yeah, I just take it easy you know.
Instrumental:
(Following the chord structure of the verses)
Verse 3:
E MajorE F#F#
How my life has changed, to me it seems like magic,
B7B7 E MajorE
From what I used to be, some say it's tragic, (Ha ha)
A augmentedA F#F#
Oh but that's a story better left alone,
B7B7 E MajorE
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
Verse 4:
E MajorE F#F#
So when I'm on the track and camped beside the highway,
B7B7 E MajorE
Just a-lazing back a-gazing at God's skyway,
A augmentedA F#F#
Will my footsteps ever reach that golden throne,
B7B7 E MajorE
Will they ever welcome in this rolling stone
