1. I used to be a rolling stone, you know, if the cause was right,

          A                       C                     G       - D

    I’d leave to find an answer on the road.

     G

  I used to be a heart beating for someone, but the times have changed,

A                                 C                            G

    the less I say, the more my work gets done.

               C                                  F    C           G

`Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom,

                C                    F              C              G

from the day that I was born I’ve waved the flag.

    F                                              E                   Am     F

2.                             If you choose to, you can live your life alone,

    some people choose the city,

               A                             C                     G       - D

    some others choose the good old family home.

    A                 C                         G      

   zapped me right between the eyes.
