Ballad of a Thin Man Bob Dylan
You walk into th[Am]e room With your pencil[E] in your hand
[F]You see somebody naked And you say, [Am]"Who is that man?"
[F]You try so hard [Dm]But you don't understand
[C]Just what you'll [Em]say [Am]When you get home
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Am] [E]
You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
[F]And somebody points to you and says [Am]"It's his"
[F]And you say, "Wh[Dm]at's mine?"
[C]And somebody else[Em] say[Am]s, "Where what is?"
[C]And you say, "Oh my G[Em]od Am I here all alone?"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones
[Am] You hand in your ticket And you go [E]watch the geek
[F]Who immediately walks up to you When[Am] he hears you speak
[F]And says, "How does it feel To be[Dm] such a freak?"
[C]And you say, "Imp[Em]ossi[Am]ble" As he hands you a bone
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Am]You have many contacts [E]Among the lumberjacks
[F]To get you facts When somebody attacks your imaginati[Am]on
[Am]But nobody has any respect [E]Anyway they already expect you
[F]To just give a check To [Dm]tax-deductible charity organi[G]zations
[G7]AHHHHH!
[Am] [E]
You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks
[F]With great lawyers you have Discusse[Am]d lepers and crooks
[F]You've been through all of F. Scot[Dm]t Fitzgerald's books
[C]You're very well [Em]read[Am] It's well known
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Am]Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you[E] And then he kneels
[F]He crosses himself And then he click[Am]s his high heels
[F]And without further notice He asks you how[Dm] it feels
[C]And he says, "Her[Em]e is[Am] your throat back Thanks for the loan"
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Am]Now you see this one-eyed midget Shou[E]ting the word "NOW"
[F]And you say, "For what reason?" And [Am]he says, "How?"
[F]And you say, "What does this mean?" And he screams [Dm]back, "You're a cow!
[C]Give me some milk[Em] Or [Am]else go home"
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Am]Well, you walk into the roomLike a camel [E]and then you frown
[F]You put your eyes in your pocket And[Am] your nose on the ground
[F]There ought to be a law Against you co[Dm]min' around
[C]You should be mad[Em]e To[Am] wear earphones
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
[Am]But you don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
