Teenage Idol Tab

by Ricky Nelson


Teen Age Idol:Ricky Nelson.
#5 in 1962.

#1. (Capo 1st fret for original.)

                            
Some people call me a teenage idol,
                        
Some people say they envy me.
                        
I guess they got no way of knowing,
                  
How lonesome I can be.

#2.
                       
I need somebody to be my baby,
                          
Someone to tell my troubles to.
                     
I've got no time to ever find her,
                      
Cause I'm just passing through.

CHORUS:
                     
I travel around, from town to lonely town.
                                        
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone.
                                     
If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people
        
know my name..
                                   
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone.

#3.
                             
I get no rest when I'm feeling weary.
                        
I got to pack my bags and go.
                   
I got to be somewhere tomorrow,
                 
To smile and do my show.

CHORUS:
                    
I travel around, from town to lonely town.
                                        
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone.
                                     
If I find fortune and fame, and lots of people
        
know my name..
                                   
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone.

REPEAT#1.
                            
Some people call me a teenage idol,
                        
Some people say they envy me.
                        
I guess they got no way of knowing,
                  
How lonesome I can be.
