Rolling Stone (ver 2) by Passenger
I posted a video of this song on youtube and got quite a few request for tabs for this amazing song from
Passenger. It took me a while to get it done (due to exams and vacation afterwards), but now I'm back in the
game! There's a couple of other versions of this song already on UG, but one was missing tabs and the other the
lyrics, so I decided to make my own, and hope that it gets through.
Btw, in my video I play it a tad bit differently than the tabs below (because I hadn't written it yet).

C G Am7
Sometimes I feel I'm going nowhere,
Fmaj7 G C
sometimes I'm sure I never will
C G Am7
She said it's 'cause I'm always moving,
Fmaj7 G *
I never notice 'cause I never stand still

C G Am7
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fmaj7 G C
Falling fast and falling free
C G Am7
She said, "my darling, you're not falling,
Fmaj7 G C
always looked like you were flying to me"
G C
But I fear I've grown
G C Fmaj7
a rolling stone inside of me
G C
She said, "oh, don't you know,
G C Fmaj7
the rolling stones stop at the sea,
G *
and that's where I'll be"
*: C G Am7

C G Am7
Sometimes I'm sure I know no one,
Fmaj7 G C
A thousand faces but no names
C G Am7
She said, "my love, you do know someone,
Fmaj7 G C
oh, and I know you back just the same"
G C
"But I'm scared", I said
G C Fmaj7
"What if this stone don't slow down?"
G C
"Oh, just be aware", she said,
G C Fmaj7
"what goes up will come down,
G *
and when you do I'll be around"
*: C G Am7

G C
Oh, when I've dragged this
G C Fmaj7
rolling stone across this land,
G C
I'll make sure I
G C Fmaj7
leave this stone in her hand,
G C
for we both know to well
G C Fmaj7
that rolling stones turn into sand,
G C
if they don't find a place to stand
