Ballad Of A Thin Man chords by Bob Dylan

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

E

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

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

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

Am
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"

Em
And you say, "Oh my God Am I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here

But you don't know what it is

Do you, Mister Jones


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

Am
Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak

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

Am
And you say, "Impossible" As he hands you a bone

Em
Because something is happening here
Am
But you don't know what it is

Am
Do you, Mister Jones





E
You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks
Am
To get you facts When somebody attacks your imagination
E
But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you
G
To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations
G7
AHHHHH!



E

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

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

Am
You're very well read It's well known

Em
Because something is happening here
Am
But you don't know what it is

Am
Do you, Mister Jones



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

Am
He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels

Dm
And without further notice He asks you how it feels

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

Em
Because something is happening here
Am
But you don't know what it is

Am
Do you, Mister Jones










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

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

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

Am
Give me some milk Or else go home"

Em
Because something is happening here
Am
But you don't know what it is

Am
Do you, Mister Jones









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

Am
You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground

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

Am
You should be made To wear earphones

Em
Because something is happening here
Am
But you don't know what it is

Am
Do you, Mister Jones
