To get the feel of the strumming and solos etc.. you should listen
to the song, I know it was released as a B-side to the My Hero single
in the UK, I don't know about releases in America though.

All chords are power chords, except during the verse, and the minor
chords. You can also try picking the Dm and Am chords at the beginning of
the chorus if you have two guitars, for a nice effect.
The chorus can also be played with Dm7 and Am7, but I don't think it
sounds right like that.

Chords used:
   EADGBe

 Dm xx0231  or 
 Dm7 : xx0211

 Am x02210  or 
 Am7 : x02010

 Em 022000

 G  355xxx

 A  577xxx

 C  x355xxx

 D  x577xx

Key:
10b   - Bend note
13h   - Hammer-on
12p   - Pull-off
13/10 - Slide to next note
10~~~ - Hold note
(7)   - Ghost note, don't necessarily play it

 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

--Repeat Solo--


 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
