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
D7M
  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
D7M
  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.
