[Intro] B7 E [Verse 1]
       E                             F#
As the years roll on I tramp along beside them,

      B7                                  E
never have no cares so never need to hide them.

                                         A     F#
From the sunny north down to the south I roam,

      B7                              E
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
[Verse 2]
                                         F#
Sometimes I settle down and the road forgets me,

         B7                                  E
Then the wanderlust comes on and soon upsets me,

                                        A     F#
So I down tools and I just leave work alone,

      B7                              E
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
[Chorus]
   B7                          A                     E
My mates are far and many as I tramp through out the years,

A                 E                 F#              B7
Some are rich and some are poor but o'er a glass of beer,

            E                                   F#
They're all decent blokes who share a joke with no distinction shown,

    B7                                    E
And they're the mates of this old rolling stone.

E
yeah, I   just take it easy you know.
[Instrumental] (Following the chord structure of the verses) [Verse 3]
E                                            F#
How my life has changed, to me it seems like magic,

          B7                             E
From what I used to be, some say it's tragic, (Ha ha)

                                   A      F#
Oh but that's a story better left alone,

       B7                              E
For I guess that I was born a rolling stone.
[Verse 4]
E                                              F#
So when I'm on the track and camped beside the highway,

       B7                               E
Just a-lazing back a-gazing at God's skyway,

                                         A      F#
Will my footsteps ever reach that golden throne,

          B7                           E
Will they ever welcome in this rolling stone
