Bob Dylan - Ballad Of A Thin Man Chords

[Opening]
[Am]You walk into the room
[Ab]With your pencil in your hand
[C]You see somebody naked
And [D]you say, “Who is that man?”
[F]You try so hard
But [Dm]you don’t understand
[C]Just what you’ll [Em]say
When you get [Am]home

[verse 2]
[C]Because something is [Em]happening here
And you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is,
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[verse 3]
[Am]You raise up your head
[Ab]And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
[C]And somebody points to you and says
[D]“It’s his”
[F]And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody [Dm]else says, “Where what is?”
And you [C]say, “Oh my God
Am I [Em]here all [Am]alone?”

[chorus]
[C]But something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[verse 4]
[Am]You hand in your ticket
[Ab]And you go watch the geek
[C]Who immediately walks up to you
[D]When he hears you speak
[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

[chorus]
[C]And something is [Em]happening here
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[verse 5]
[Am]You have many contacts
[C]Among the lumberjacks
To [F]get you facts
When someone attacks your [Am]imagination
[Am]But nobody has any respect
[C]Anyway they already expect you
[F]To just give a check
To [Dm]tax-deductible charity [G]organizations [G7]

[verse 6]
[Am]You’ve been with the professors
[Ab]And they’ve all liked your looks
[C]With great lawyers you have
[D]Discussed lepers and crooks
[F]You’ve been through all of
F. Scott [Dm]Fitzgerald’s books
[C]You’re very well [Em]read
It’s well [Am]known

[chorus]
[C]But something is [Em]happening here
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[verse 7]
Well, [Am]the sword swallower, he comes up to [[Ab]]you
[Ab]And then he kneels
[C]He crosses himself
And then [D]he clicks his high heels
And [F]without further notice
He asks [Dm]you how it feels
And he says, [C]“Here is your throat [Em]back
Thanks for the [Am]loan”

[chorus]
[C]And you know something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[verse 8]
[Am]Now you see this one-eyed midget
[Ab]Shouting the word “NOW”
[C]And you say, “For what reason?”
[D]And he says, “How?”
[F]And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams [Dm]back, “You’re a cow
[C]Give me some [Em]milk
Or else go [Am]home”

[chorus]
[C]And you know something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones

[Closing]
Well, you [Am]walk into the room
[Ab]Like a camel and then you frown
[C]You put your eyes in your pocket
And your [D]nose on the ground
[F]There ought to be a law
[Dm]Against you coming around
You [C]should be made
To [Em]wear [Am]earphones

[chorus]
[C]‘Cause something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
