 7  -8    7   7    7   7     7    7
Winding your way down bak - er street
  7   -8   7   7    7       7  7    7   7
Light in your head and -- then on your feet
 7   -6 -7  -6 -7 -6  -7 
Well an-oth-er crazy day
 -5   -7   -7   -7  -7 7 
You drink the night a-way
 -7 -6  -7 -6 -6  -6   -7   -6   
And forget a-bout ev - ry thing
 8   -8  7  7  7    7   -6   -7  7   7
This ci-ty desert makes you feel so cold
 7    7      8  -8  7 -8  7     
It's got --- so ma-ny people
 7  -6    -7  7   7
But it's got no soul
 7  -6   -7 -6 -7 -6  -7   
And it's taken me so long
-5  -7   -7  -7  -7    7
To find out you were wrong
 -7  -6   -7 -6  -6  -6   -7   -6    
When you sorted out  ev - ry thing

 7    8  8    8    -8  8  -8  8  -8   8    
You used to think that it was so ea - sy
 7    8  8    8   -8  8  -8  8 -8   8  
You used to say that it was so ea - sy
-7    -8    7     6     -8   -7  6   -6
But you're try - ing, you're trying now
-6  7   7  7   -7    7   -7    7  -7    7
An-oth-er year and then you'll be hap - py
 -6   7   7    7     -7   7    -7   7   -7   7   
Just one more year, and then you'll be hap - py
 6     -8   7     6      -8   -7  6  -6 
But you're cry - ing, you're crying now

Verse 2

Way down the street, there's a man in his place
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 anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna, give up the booze 
And the one night stands 
And then he'll settle down, 
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
His heels rolling
He's a rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
And you're going
You're going home......... 

Listen to the song (check out that sax !)
