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

[Verse 1]
[Am]You
walk into the room [G#aug]with your pencil in your hand
[C]You see somebody na[G]ked [C]and you say[D],
"Who is that man?"
[F]You try so hard but
[Dm]you don't understand
[C]Just what you will [Em]say
when you [Am]get home
Because [C]something is happening [Em]here
but [Am]you don't know what it is
Do [F]you, Mr. [Am]Jones?
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
You raise up your head [E]and you ask,
"Is this [G#aug]where it is?"[C]
[G]And somebody points to you [D]and says,
"It's his"
[Dm]And you [F]say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says,
[Dm]"Well, what is?"
And you say, [C]"Oh my God,
am [Em]I here all [Am]alone?"
[C]But something [Em]is happening
and you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. [Am]Jones?
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
You hand in your ticket [G#aug]and
you go watch [E]the geek[G#aug][E]
[G]Who immediately walks up to you
[C]when [D]he hears you speak
And [F]says, "How does it feel
to be [Dm]such a freak?"
And you [F]say, [C]"Impossible!"
[Em]as he hands yo[Am]u a bone
[C]And something is hap[Em] pening here
[Am]but you don't know what it is
Do [F]you, Mr. Jones?
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
You have many contacts
[C]among the lumberjacks
[F]To get you facts when someone attacks
your imagin[Am]ation
But nobody has any respect,
[C]anyway they already exp[F]ect you to all give a check
To [Dm]tax- deductible charity organiza[G]tions

[Verse 5]
[G]Ah, [Am]you've been with the professors and
they've [G#]all liked your look[E]s[G#aug]
[G]With great lawyers you have
[D]discussed lepers and crooks
[F]You've been through all of F. Scot
[Dm]t Fitzgerald's books
[C]You're very well- read,
[Em]it's [Am]well- known
[C]But something is [Em]hap pening here
and you [Am]don't know what it is
Do [F]you, Mr. [Am]Jones?[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 6]
Well, the sword swallower,
[E]he comes up to you and then he kneels
[G]He crosses himsel[C]f and[Am][F#dim]
then [F#m]he clicks his high [D]heels
[F]And without further notice,
[Dm]he asks you how it feels
And he [C]says, "Here is your throat [Em]back,
thanks for the [Am]loan"
And you [C]know something is [Em]happening
but you [Am]don't know what it is
Do [F]you, Mr. [Am]Jones?[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 7]
Now, you see this one- eyed midget shouting
[G#]the word [G#aug]"Now"[C]
[G]And you say, "For what [D]reason?" and he says,
"How"
And you [F]say, "What does this mean?" [Dm]and he screams back,
"You're a cow!
[C]Give me some [Em]milk or else go [Am]home"
And you [C]know something's [Em]happening
but you don't [Am]know what [F]it is
Do you, Mr. [Am]Jones?[Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Well, you walk into [G#aug]the room like a camel,
[Am]and then [G#aug]you frown
[G]You put your eyes in your pocket and your
[D]nos[F#m]e on the[D] ground
[F]There ought to be a law aga[Dm]inst
you comin' around
You should [C]be made to
[Em]wear [Am]earphones
'Cause [C]something is [Em]happening
and you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. [Am]Jones?[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]
