A
Winding your way down on Baker Street
A
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Em G
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
D
And forget about everything
A
This city's dance makes you feel so cold, it's got
A
So many people but its got no soul
Em G
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything.
Dm Am
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm Am
You used to say that it was so easy
C G D
But you're trying, you're trying now
Dm Am
Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm Am
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
C G A G
But you're crying, you're crying now

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/foo-fighters/207535.html ]
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
D
And you talk about everything
A
He's got this dream about buying some land
A
He's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
D
And forget about everything
Dm Am
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm Am
You know he's never gonna stop moving
C G D
Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
Dm Am
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm Am
The sun is shining it's a new morning
C G A D
And you're going, you're going home

Acknowledgment: The only part of this tab I take credit for is the revised
intro riff. None of the tabs I could find online show that the intro is on
one guitar, so here's my take at it. I borrowed the solo tab and chords
from an unknown user. I modified the tab (and chord diagrams) to fit the
dropped tuning, and polished it up a bit. Much thanks to the previous
author.
