A Asus2 A Asus2
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A Asus2 A Asus2
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face

And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen

And you talk about a- ny- thing
A Asus2 A Asus2
He's got this dream a- bout buyin' some land
A Asus2 A Asus2
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
D Dsus4 D
And for- get about e- very- thing
[Chorus 2]

But you know he'll always keep mo- ving
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
You know he's never gonna stop mo- ving
C G D
Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
And when you wake up it's a new mor- ning
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
The sun is shining it's a new mor- ning
C G A F
And you're going, you're going home
