Ricky Nelson – Teenage Idol (Guitar)

            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              G
how lonesome I can be

           C             Am
I need somebody to be my baby,

           C       F        G
someone to tell my troubles to

            C       Em   Am
I've got no time to ever find her,

      F                C
cause I'm just passing through

  F                   Em
I travel around, from town to lonely town

  F                 C         Am      G    G7
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone

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

D                 D7           Am   G   G7
that won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

         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               C
to smile and do my show

  F                   Em
I travel around, from town to lonely town

  F                 C         Am      G    G7
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone

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

D                 D7           Am   G   G7
that won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

            C                 Am

    F              G
how lonesome I can be

    F              C
How lonesome I can be
