Ballad Of A Thin Man chords by Bob Dylan

Chords with lyrics

E MajorE
You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand
A minorAm
You see somebody naked And you say, "Who is that man?"
DmDm
You try so hard But you don't understand
A minorAm
Just what you'll say When you get home
E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is
A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones

E MajorE

You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is?"

A minorAm
And somebody points to you and says "It's his"

DmDm
And you say, "What's mine?"

A minorAm
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"

E minorEm
And you say, "Oh my God A minorAm I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here

But you don't know what it is

Do you, Mister Jones


E MajorE
 You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek

A minorAm
Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak

DmDm
And says, "How does it feel To be such a freak?"

A minorAm
And you say, "Impossible" As he hands you a bone

E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is

A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones

E MajorE
You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks
A minorAm
To get you facts When somebody attacks your imagination
E MajorE
But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you
G+G
To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations
G7G7
AHHHHH!


E MajorE

You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks
A minorAm
With great lawyers you have Discussed lepers and crooks

DmDm
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books

A minorAm
You're very well read It's well known

E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is

A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones


E MajorE
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you And then he kneels

A minorAm
He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels

DmDm
And without further notice He asks you how it feels

A minorAm
And he says, "Here is your throat back Thanks for the loan"

E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is

A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones








E MajorE
Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word "NOW"

A minorAm
And you say, "For what reason?" And he says, "How?"

DmDm
And you say, "What does this mean?" And he screams back, "You're a cow!

A minorAm
Give me some milk Or else go home"

E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is

A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones







E MajorE
Well, you walk into the roomLike a camel and then you frown

A minorAm
You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground

DmDm
There ought to be a law Against you comin' around

A minorAm
You should be made To wear earphones

E minorEm
Because something is happening here
A minorAm
But you don't know what it is

A minorAm
Do you, Mister Jones
