Bm         G                      Bm
In fair Verona where we lay our scene
    G              Bm
Juliet is on her knees
              G                  D    F#m
She shoots to kill and aims to please, oh

             Bm
And you can see it in her eyes
          G
It’s not something that she likes
         D                 F#m
But she can’t stand being alone

So you thank her for her charm
And you take her in your arms
But she just won’t let you go

Chorus:
                          Bm       G
She said her daddy was an alcoholic
                      D     A
And her mother was an animal
Now she’s living like a rolling stone
She said that the lord will never take her alive
If they take her home

In Belarus she was a vespertine
She danced the gogo for the bourgeoisie
Now she's here
And she is on her knees, oh

And she won’t apologize
For the cheating and the lies
But she can’t stand being this way

And you can see it in her eyes
She would kill them if they try
To send her back to her grave

Chorus

D#/F       G     A       Bm
(Rolling stone, rolling stone)
And she keeps on living like a
(Rolling stone, rolling stone)
And she keeps on living like a

Chorus

They'll never take her alive
if they take her home
They'll never take her alive
if they take her home
