Ballad Of A Thin Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
You walk into the [Am]room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked and you say
[F#dim]"Who is that man?"[D]
[F]You try so hard
But [Dm]you don't understand
[C]Just what you will [Em]say
When you [Am]get home

[Verse 2]
[C]Because something is hap[Em]pening here
But ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 3]
[Am]
You raise up your head
And you ask,
"Is this [G#aug]where it [Am]is?"
And somebody points to you
[F#dim]and says
[D]"It's his"
[F]And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else [Dm]says,
"Well, what is?"
And you say, [C]"Oh my God,
am I [Em]here all alone?"
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]But something is hap[Em]pening
And ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 5]
[Am]
You hand in your ticket
[Eaug]And you go watch t[G#aug]he geek
[Am]
Who immediately walks up to you
[F#dim]When he hears y[Am]ou sp[D]eak
[F]And says, "How does it feel
[Dm]to be such a freak?"
And you say, [C]"Impossible"
As he [Em]hands you a [Am]bone

[Verse 6]
[C]And something is hap[Em]pening here
But ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 7]
[Am]
You have many contacts
[C]Among the lumberjacks
[F]To get you facts
When somebody attacks
your ima[Am]gination
But nobody has any respect
[C]Anyway they already expect you
[F]To all give a check
To [Dm]tax- deductible charity organ[G]izations
[Am]Aw, you've been with
the professors
And they've all liked your
[G#aug]looks[Am]
With great lawyers you have dis[F#dim]cussed
lepers and [D]crooks[F]
You've been through all of
F. Scott [Dm]Fitzgerald's books
You are [C]very well [Em]read
It's well [Am]known

[Verse 8]
[C]But something is hap[Em]pening here
And ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mister Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 9]
[Am]
Well, the sword swallower
[G#aug]He comes up to you[Am] and then
he kneels
He crosses himself and then
he clicks his
[F#dim]His high heels[D]
[F]Without further notice he asks you
[Dm]How it feels
And he says,
[C]"Here's your throat bac[Em]k
Thanks for the loan"
[Am]

[Verse 10]
[C]And you know something
[Em]is happening here
[Am]But ya don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 11]
[Am]
Now you see this one- eyed midget
Shouting the word, [Eaug]"Now"[Am]
And you say, "For what reason?"
[F#dim]And he says, "How?"[D]
[F]And you say,
"What does this mean?"
And he screams back[Dm],
"You're a cow
[C]Give me some [Em]milk or else go [Am]home"

[Verse 12]
[C]You know something is
[Em]happening here
But ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 13]
[Am]
Well, you walk into the
room like a camel
[G#aug]And then you [Am]frown[E][Am]
[C]You put your eye[Am]s in your pocket
[F#dim]And your nose on the ground[D]
[F]There oughta be a law against you
[Dm]Comin' around
You [C]should be made to
[Em]wear earphones
[Am]

[Verse 14]
[C]'Cause something is [Em]hap pening
And ya [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?
[C]'Cause something is hap[Em]pening

[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?
Mr. Jones
