D
Pack up all your things

      A/C#
We're gonna be leaving

Bm            F#m
Sooner than I thought

G                   D
Take the things you bought

           Gm6/C
Clouds are gathering.
[Verse 2]
D
Say goodbye to all your friends

      A/C#
We're gonna be sorry

      Bm                   F#m
For a while, that's how it goes

    G               D
But then again, who knows

 Gm6/C           D
About the rain    (chromatic link)
[Chorus]

  I'm steppin' out

Dmaj7
  I'm moving on

  I'm gonna see the world

E/G#           D/A
Like a rolling stone

Bm
Stepping out

Gm                      Am
       I'm gonna be somebody...

Bb      C        D
Oh, I'm steppin' out
[Verse 3]
D
Did you hear what he said?

   A/C#
He said they sold me down the river

     Bm                      F#m
They thought I thought was a fool

     G                   D
They said the rain would fall

     Gm6/C
What did they know?
[Verse 4]
D
Then I saw your face

        A/C#
And the song that you were singing

         Bm                 F#m
Though I thought I knew the words

    G                D               Gm6/C
The tune was quite absurd and out of key

            D
Ooo dah dah dee  (chromatic link)

  I'm steppin' out

Dmaj7
  I'm moving on

D7                  G
  I'm gonna see the world

E/G#           D/A
Like a rolling stone

Bm
Stepping out

Gm                      Am
       I'm gonna be somebody...

Oh, I'm steppin' out.
