INTRO
 D5  G5  D5  G5  D5  C/9 

D5  
Pack up all your things
      A5
We're gonna be leaving
B5            F#5
Sooner than I thought
G5                   D5
Take the things you bought
           C/9
Clouds are gathering.

D5  
Say goodbye to all your friends
      A5
We're gonna be sorry
      B5                   F#5
For a while, that's how it goes
    G5               D5
But then again, who knows
 C/9              D5  [chromatic link]
About the rain.


D5
  I'm steppin' out
D5
  I'm moving on
D5                  G5
  I'm gonna see the world
E5           D5
Like a rolling stone
B5
Stepping out
G5                      A5
       I'm gonna be somebody...
B5       C5        D5
Oh, I'm steppin' out.


D5
Did you hear what he said?
   A5
He said they sold me down the river
     B5                      F#5
They thought I thought was a fool
     G5                   D5
They said the rain would fall
     C/9
What did they know?

D5
Then I saw your face
        A5
And the song that you were singing
         B5                 F#5
Though I thought I knew the words
    G5                D5               C/9
The tune was quite absurd and out of key
            D     [chromatic link]
Ooo dah dah dee.


D5
  I'm steppin' out
D5
  I'm moving on
D5                  G5
  I'm gonna see the world
E5           D5
Like a rolling stone
B5
Stepping out
G5                      A5
       I'm gonna be somebody...
B5       C5        D5            A5
Oh, I'm steppin' out.
