Winding your way down on Baker Street
 
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
      Em                    G
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
       D             Dsus    D
And forget about everything
A                                       Asus  A
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
 
I'ts got so many people but its got no soul
        Em                   G
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
         D                   Dsus
When you thought it held everything.
 
[Chorus]
Dm7                           Am7
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7                         Am7
You used to say that it was so easy
    C             G            D   Dsus  D
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Dm7                         Am7
Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm7                               Am7
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
    C              G            A     G
But you're cryin', you're cryin now

[Verse]
A                                                Asus  A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
 
You open 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           Dsus   D
And you talk about anything
 
A                                         Asus  A
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
 
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
    Em                             G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
       D               Dsus  D
And forget about everything
 
[Chorus]
Dm7                       Am7
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm7                       Am7
You know he's never gonna stop moving
      C            G                D     Dsus
Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
Dm7                         Am7
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
Dm7                       Am7
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
    C             G            A
And you're going, you're going home

I have the sax solo as being F-Dm-F-Dm-C-Am-G. In any case, the notes are in a Dm scale.
