#1. (Capo 1st fret for original.)

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              C
How lonesome I can be.

#2.
G          C             Am
I need somebody to be my baby,
    C              F        G
Someone to tell my troubles to.
G           C       Em   Am
I've got no time to ever find her,
      F                C
Cause I'm just passing through.

CHORUS:
  F                   Em
I travel around, from town to lonely town.
  F                 G                 C    C7
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone.
          F           Em                F
If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people
        Em
know my name..
D                                   G
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone.

#3.
G        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         G     C
To smile and do my show.

CHORUS:
 F                   Em
I travel around, from town to lonely town.

I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone.
          F           Em                F
If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people
        Em
know my name..
D                                   G
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone.

I guess they got no way of knowing,

How lonesome I can be.
