Key:
Am
Singer/Band:
Bob Dylan
Capo 2
[Verse1]
[Am] You walk into the room
Abaug
With your pencil in your hand
[C/G] You see somebody naked
And [D9]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
[C] Because something is [Em]happening here
And you [Am]don't know what it [C/G]is,
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Verse2]
[Am] You raise up your head
Abaug
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
[C/G] And somebody points to you and says
[D9] “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?”
[C]But something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C/G]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Verse3]
[Am] You hand in your ticket
Abaug
And you go watch the geek
[C/G] Who immediately walks up to you
[D9] 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
[C]And something is [Em]happening here
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C/G]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Middle8]
[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]
[Verse4]
[Am] You’ve been with the professors
Abaug
And they’ve all liked your looks
[C/G] With great lawyers you have
[D9]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
[C]But something is [Em]happening here
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C/G]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Verse5]
Well, [Am]the sword swallower, he comes up to [Abaug]you
[Abaug]
And then he kneels
[C/G] He crosses himself
And then [D9]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”
[C] And you know something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Verse6]
[Am] Now you see this one-eyed midget
Abaug
Shouting the word “NOW”
[C/G] And you say, “For what reason?”
[D9] 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”
[C] And you know something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F] Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
[Verse7]
Well, you [Am]walk into the room
Abaug
Like a camel and then you frown
[C/G] You put your eyes in your pocket
And your [D9]nose on the ground
[F] There ought to be a law
[Dm]Against you comin’ around
You [C]should be made
To [Em]wear [Am]earphones
[C] ‘Cause something is [Em]happening
But you [Am]don’t know what it [C]is
[F]Do you, Mister [Am]Jones
