Standard (EADGBE)

 Some people call me a teenage idol,

 some people say they envy me

 I guess they got no way of knowing,

 how lonesome I can be

 I need somebody to be my baby,

 someone to tell my troubles to

 I've got no time to ever find her,

 cause I'm just passing through

 I travel around, from town to lonely town

 I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone

 If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people know my name,

that won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

 I get no rest when I'm feeling weary,

 I got to pack my bags and go

 I got to be somewhere tomorrow,

 to smile and do my show

 I travel around, from town to lonely town

 I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone

 If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people know my name,

that won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

 Some people call me a teenage idol,

 some people say they envy me

 I guess they got no way of knowing,

 how lonesome I can be

 How lonesome I can be
