Ballad Of a Thin Man

Tom : D
Bm
You walk into the room
Bm/Bb
With your pencil in your hand
Bm7/A
You see somebody naked
E7
And you say, "Who is that man?"
G
You try so hard
Em
But you don't understand
D F#m
Just what you'll say
Bm
When you get home

[Refrão]
D F#m
Because something is happening here
Bm
But you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
You raise up your head
Bm/Bb
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
Bm7/A E7
And somebody points to you and says "It's his"
G
And you say, "What's mine?"
Em
And somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
D F#m
And you say, "Oh my God
  Bm            Am
I here all alone?"
D F#m
But something is happening here
Bm
And you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
Bm
You hand in your ticket
Bm/Bb
And you go watch the geek
Bm7/A
Who immediately walks up to you
E7
When he hears you speak
G
And says, "How does it feel
Em
to be such a freak?"
D F#m
And you say, "Impossible"
Bm
As he hands you a bone
D F#m
And something is happening here
Bm
But you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
Bm
You have many contacts
Bm7/A
Among the lumberjacks
G
To get you facts
Bm
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Bm7/A
Anyway they already expect you
G
To just give a check
Em
To tax-deductible
A
Charity organizations
Bm
You've been with the professors
Bm/Bb
And they've all liked your looks
Bm7/A
With great lawyers you have
E7
Discussed lepers and crooks
G
You've been through
Em
All of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
D F#m
You're very well read
Bm
It's well known
D F#m
But something is happening here
Bm
And you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
Bm
Well, the sword swallower
Bm/Bb
He comes up to you, and then he kneels
Bm7/A
He crosses himself
E7
And then he clicks his high heels
G
And without further notice
Em
He asks you how it feels
D F#m
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Bm
Thanks for the loan"

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Bm
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Bm/Bb
Shouting the word "NOW"
Bm7/A
And you say, "For what reason?"
E7
And he says, "How?"
G
And you say, "What does this mean?"
Em
And he screams back, "You're a cow
D F#m Bm
Give me some milk or else go home"
D F#m
And you know something is happening here
Em
But you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
Bm
Well, you walk into the room
Bm/Bb
Like a camel and then you frown
Bm7/A
You put your eyes in your pocket
E7
And your nose on the ground
G
There ought to be a law
Em
Against you comin' around
D F#m Bm
You should be made to wear earphones
D F#m
Because something is happening here
Bm
And you don't know what it is
