Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
You walk into [Am]the room
[G#aug]With the pencil in yo[Am]ur ha[G#aug]nd[Am]
[C]You see somebody naked
and [Am]ask[F#dim]
"Who is that [F]man?"
You try so hard,
but [Dm]you don't understand
[C]You don't know what [Em]you'll say
when you [Am]get home
[C]

[Verse 2]
Something is [Em]happening
And you [Am]don't know what it [F]is
Do you, Mister [Am]Jones?
[Dm][Am][Dm]

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

[Verse 4]
[C]
Something is [Em]happening
And you [Am]don't know what [F]it is
Do you, Mister [Am]Jones?
[Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
You hand in your [G#aug]ticket
[Am]And you go watch the g[G#aug]eek
[C]Who immediately wal[Am]ks up to [C]you
[F#dim]When he hears you speak
[F]And says, "How does it feel
to [Dm]be such a freak?"
Then [C]you say, "Impossible",
[Em]as he hands you a bone[Am]

[Verse 6]
[C]
And something is [Em]happening here
But you [Am]don't know what it [F]is
Do you, Mister [Am]Jones?
[Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
You have many [C]contacts
among [F]the lumberjacks
To get you facts when someone
attacks your [Am]imagination
And nobody has any respect
[C]Anyway, they already expect you[F]
To give a check [Dm]to tax- deductible charity
organiz[G]ations

[Verse 8]
[Am]
You've been with professors
They all [G#aug]liked your loo[Am]ks
With great [C]lawyers you've
[Am]discussed[F#dim]
The lepers and [F]crooks
You've been through all of [Am]Rober
[F]t Zim[Am]merma[Dm]n's books
You're [C]very well read,
[Em]it's well known
[Am][C]

[Verse 9]
Something is [Em]happening
And you [Am]don't know what [F]it is

[Interlude 1]
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Now, you see this one-
[G#aug]eyed midget
[Am]Shouting the word [G#aug]"Now"[Am]
And [C]you say, [Am]"For [C]what reason?"
He [Am]says, [F#dim]"How?"
[F]And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back,
[Dm]"You're a cow"
"Now give [C]me some [Em]milk or
else [Am]go home"
[C]

[Verse 11]
Something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don't know what it [F]is

[Interlude 2]
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 12]
[Am]Well, you walk into the [G#aug]room
And then you [C]frown
[Gsus4]You put y[C]our eyes in your [G]pocket[C]
[F#dim]And your nose on the ground[F]
There ought to be a law against
[Dm]you comin' around
[C]You should be made to [Em]wear
earphones
[Am]

[Verse 13]
[C]
Something is [Em]happening
You [Am]don't know what it [C]is[F]
Do you, Mister [Am]Jones?
