[Verse 1]
        G                  D   Em
I'm not known for staying very long
C                             G                   D
Just about the duration of an old Jimmy Rodger's Song
G                                D     Em
I've been known to gamble, and drink in bars
C                             G         D
Catch myself a neon tale following this guitar
G           D      Em
Ive gone by many names
C                                G            D
But not like my father or the bible one I was gave

[Chorus]
         C    D  Em
But it's all the same
C
Full wide walls and damn good crowds
        G                D
And the life in the fast lane
        C    D   Em
And it feels so strange
C
Walking around, singing the blues
G               D
People know my name
C     D     Em
Back on the road
C           D      Em
Headed down to El Paso
        C
Thats the way it goes
       D                G
in the lfe of a rolling stone

[Verse 2]
        G                      D     Em
Well my momma called me up the other day
C                                 G            D
She had a worry in her voice, not sure I'd be okay
        G                  D      Em
And the night when I sat down to pray
C                                 G                D
Whiskey hard on my breath I heard I saw the light play
G                       D    Em
In the mirror all I see is a ghost
C                        G             D
Nevermind it's just the man I miss the most

[Chorus]
         C  D   Em
But it's all the same
C
Hey there hoss, love sick blues
     G                     D
And stumbin' my ass off stage
   C     D    Em
It feels so strange
C
It's kaw-liga, Cheatin' heart
         G                  D
and Miss Audrey calling my name
C     D     Em
Back on the road
C                      D        Em
Got a a two night show down in Tupelo
C
Thats the way it goes
       D                 G
In the life of a rolling stone

[Verse 3]
         G      D         Em
Yeah its been a hell of a year
C                            G         D
The paper started calling me hillbilly Shakespeare
      G                        D      Em
I got pains for my whiskey and that's why
C                             G               D
The lord only knows the last time I was found dry
G              D Em
Head up to Ohio tonight
C                              G                D
The radio softly weeps, I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Chorus]
         C    D  Em
But it's all the same
C
Full wide walls and damn good crowds
        G                D
And the life in the fast lane
        C    D   Em
And it feels so strange
C
Walking around, singing the blues
G                         D
And a shot at the Hall of Fame
C     D   Em
Back on the road
C                    D      Em
This one goes hoss, nobody knows
C
Thats the way it goes
       D                G
in the lfe of a rolling stone
C
Thats the way it goes
       D                G
in the lfe of a rolling stone
