Bob Dylan
Like a Rolling Stone - Live at Monterey Pop Festival
[Spoken Intro]
Let's just get down to business
Just give me one second to get down [?]
Yeah I tell ya brother....It's really outta sight here...didn't rain...no buttons to push
Right now, we're gonna dedicate this song to everybody here
[?] hearts and ears
It goes something like this
Yeah!
Yeah! What I say now?
Hey!
Yes, like I said before, it's really groovy
I'd like to bore you for about six or seven minutes to do a little thing
Yeah
Billy, 'cusе me for a minute, just let mе play that guitar, right?
Right now, we're doin' thing by Bob Dylan...that's his Grandma over there
This little thing called "Like a Rolling Stone"
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Oh, didn't you?
People call, say "Beware doll
You're bound to fall"
You thought they all, heh
Were all a-kiddin' you
You used to, heh
Laugh about
Everybody that was, uh
Hangin' out
Look at ya
Now you don'
Talk so loud
Now you don't, baby
Seem so proud
About having to be scrounging, yeah
Your next meal
[Chorus 1]
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 2]
Aw, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But ya know ya only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught ya how to live out on the street
And now you’re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you, got to realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And he says, “Hey baby would you like to uh, a make a deal?"
[Chorus 2]
How does it feel? Baby!
How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
A complete unknown?
Look at ya...Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 3 and Chorus 3 were accidentally skipped by Jimi and he admits it in Verse 4]
[Verse 4]
Aw, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made, yeah
Exchangin' all precious gifts and things
But you'd better take your diamond ring, I think ya better pawn it, babe
Yeah I know I missed a verse; don't worry
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls ya, ya can't refuse
When ya ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now, ya got no secrets to conceal
[Chorus 4]
How does it feel?
Aw, how does it feel, baby?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
