Then into the C F G progression for a few bars before beginning the actual song as transcribed below by Rajarshi Gosh (raja@uts.cc.utexas.edu)

Here's the first verse. As I'm transferring the stuff from the left part of my brain to the right (or is it vice versa?) it's probably a bit flawed :
C Dm Em F G G7
4/4 | | | | | | |
C Dm Once upon a time you dressed so fine Em F G Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you C Dm People called you, said "Beware doll, Em F G You're bound to fall", you thought they were all kidding you F G You used to laugh about F G Everybody else that was hanging out F Em Dm C Now you don't talk so loud F Em Dm C Now you don't seem so proud Dm F G About having to be scrounging around for your next meal C F G How does it feel, C F G How does it feel C F G To be on your own C F G In no direction home C F G Like a complete unknown C F G G7 Like a rolling stone.
The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have to figure that out yourself :-)

Like A Rolling Stone by Jimi Hendrix uses 6 chords: C, Dm, Em, F, G, G7.
No, it is played without a capo.
