nothing but a rolling stone
|Am G/B |C
He told me bout when his house burnt down,
|Am G/B |C
he lost everything he owned
|Am G/B |C
He lay asleep for six whole weeks,
|Am G/B |C

When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something

When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose

Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt,

and I miss it like a hole in the head!
