capo i

Am C G

C Am
some people call me a teenage idol ,
C F G
some people say they envy me
C Em Am
i guess they got no way of knowing ,
F G
how lonesome i can be

C Am
i need somebody to be my baby ,
C F G
someone to tell my troubles to
C Em Am
i’ve got no time to ever find her ,
F C
cause i’m just passing through

F Em
i travel around , from town to lonely town
F C Am G G7
i guess i’ll always be just a rolling stone
F Em
if i find fortune and fame , and lots of people know my name ,
D D7 Am G G7
that won’t mean a thing if i’m all alone

C Am
i get no rest when i’m feeling weary ,
C F G
i got to pack my bags and go
C Em Am
i got to be somewhere tomorrow ,
F C
to smile and do my show

F Em
i travel around , from town to lonely town
F C Am G G7
i guess i’ll always be just a rolling stone
F Em
if i find fortune and fame , and lots of people know my name ,
D D7 Am G G7
that won’t mean a thing if i’m all alone

C Am
some people call me a teenage idol ,
C F G
some people say they envy me
C Em Am
i guess they got no way of knowing ,
F G
how lonesome i can be

F C
how lonesome i can be
