Lyrics

Some times I (C#)feel I’m go ing no (D#m7)where,

some times I’m (C#)sure I nev er will.

She said it’s ’cause I’m al ways mov ing

I nev er (B)no tice ’cause I (C#)nev er stand still.

Some times I (C#)feel like I’m fall (D#m7)ing,

fall (B)ing fast and (C#)fall ing free.

She said my (C#)darl ing you’re not fall (D#m7)ing,

al (B)ways looked like you were (C#)fly ing to me.

But I fear I’ve grown

a roll ing (F#)stone in side of (B)me.

She said oh, don’t you know

the roll ing stones stop (F#)at the sea.

down.

And that’s where I’ll be.

Some times I’m sure I know no one,

a thou sand fac es but no names.

She said my love you do know some one,

oh, and I know you back just the same.

But I’m scared I said, what if this stone don’t slow down.

Oh, just be a ware she said, what goes up will come down.

And when you I’ll be a round.

be.

Oh, when I’ve (F#)dragged this roll ing (F#)stone a cross this land

I’ll make sure (F#)I

(C#)leave this stone in (F#)her hand.

For we both know too well

the roll ing (F#)stones turn in to sand

if they don’t find a place to stand.

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Rolling Stone" by Passenger in?
The backing track is in F# at 100 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Rolling Stone" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Rolling Stone"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Rolling Stone", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Rolling Stone" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of F#, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Rolling Stone" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
