[Verse 1]
A                Asus4    A            Asus4
 Winding your way down on Baker Street
A                Asus4   A                Asus4
 Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
        Em                   G
Well an- other crazy day, you drink the night away
        D            Dsus4   D
And for- get about e- very- thing
 
A                Asus4     A                 Asus4
 This city desert makes you feel so cold, it's got
A              Asus4    A           Asus4
 So many people but it's got no soul
       Em                    G
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
        D                 Dsus4   D
When you thought it held e- very- thing
 
[Chorus 1]
Dm7                           Am   Asus2   Am
 You used to think that it was so ea-       sy
Dm7                         Am   Asus2   Am
 You used to say that it was so ea-        sy
   C             G            D     Dsus2 - D - Dsus4 - D
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Dm7                        Am   Asus2   Am
 Another year and then you'd be ha-      ppy
Dm7                              Am   Asus2   Am
 Just one more year and then you'd be ha-      ppy
   C             G             A     F
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

[Verse 2]
A                     Asus4     A                    Asus4
  Way down the street there's a light in his place
   A              Asus4          A                  Asus4
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
       Em                              G
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
        D            Dsus4   D
And you talk about a- ny-     thing
 
A                      Asus4   A                 Asus4
 He's got this dream a- bout   buyin' some land
          A                 Asus4   A                  Asus4
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
    Em                              G
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
        D           Dsus4   D
And for- get about e- very- thing
 
[Chorus 2]
Dm7                       Am   Asus2   Am
 But you know he'll always keep mo-     ving
Dm7                       Am   Asus2   Am
 You know he's never gonna stop mo-     ving
     C           G                 D
Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
Dm7                         Am   Asus2   Am
 And when you wake up it's a new mor-     ning
Dm7                       Am   Asus2   Am
 The sun is shining it's a new   mor-    ning
    C            G            A      F
And you're going, you're going home

Thanks for adding the sax interludes

This version is much better, than the other with more than 60 votes!!!!!!

First off, thank you for an excellent tab for this amazing classic. In the 2nd verse you change to asus2 instead of asus4 as in the first verse. Is this a type or intended? I like the sound of asus4 for both but it's hard to tell based on the real song as the guitar isn't the highlight. You could probably get a way with both but I appreciate your time in making this available to us all!
