INTRO

| D | Gm | D | Gm | D | C7/9 |



D  

Pack up all your things

      A/C#

We're gonna be leaving

Bm            F#m

Sooner than I thought

G                   D

Take the things you bought

           C7/9

Clouds are gathering.



D  

Say goodbye to all your friends

      A/C#

We're gonna be sorry

      Bm                   F#m

For a while, that's how it goes

    G               D

But then again, who knows

 C7/9              D  [chromatic link]

About the rain.





D

  I'm steppin' out

Dmaj7

  I'm moving on

D7                  G

  I'm gonna see the world

E/G#           D/A

Like a rolling stone

Bm

Stepping out

Gm                      Am

       I'm gonna be somebody...

B       C        D

Oh, I'm steppin' out.





D

Did you hear what he said?

   A/C#

He said they sold me down the river

     Bm                      F#m

They thought I thought was a fool

     G                   D

They said the rain would fall

     C7/9

What did they know?



D

Then I saw your face

        A/C#

And the song that you were singing

         Bm                 F#m

Though I thought I knew the words

    G                D               C7/9

The tune was quite absurd and out of key

            D     [chromatic link]

Ooo dah dah dee.





D

  I'm steppin' out

Dmaj7

  I'm moving on

D7                  G

  I'm gonna see the world

E/G#           D/A

Like a rolling stone

Bm

Stepping out

Gm                      Am

       I'm gonna be somebody...

B       C        D            A

Oh, I'm steppin' out.
