[Intro]
| Bm | - | - | - |
[Verse 1]
Bm
You walk into the room
A#aug
With your pencil in your hand
D/A
You see somebody naked
E9
And you, you say, "Who is that man?"
G
You try so hard
Em
But you don't understand
D F#m
Just what you will say
Bm
When you get home
D F#m
Because something is happening here
Bm
But ya' don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Verse 2]
Bm
You raise up your head
A#aug
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
D/A
And somebody points to you and says
E9
"It's his"
G
And you say, "What's mine?"
Em
And somebody else says, "Well,
what is?"
D
And you say, "Oh my God,
F#m Bm
am I here all alone?"
D F#m
But something is happening
Bm
And you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Verse 3]
Bm
You hand in your ticket
A#aug
And you go watch the geek
D/A
Who immediately walks up to you
E9
When he hears you speak
G
And says, "How does it feel to
Em
Be such a freak?"
D
And you say, "Impossible"
F#m Bm
As he hands you a bone
D F#m
And something is happening here
Bm
But ya' don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Bridge]
Bm
You have many contacts
D
Among the lumberjacks
G
To get you facts
Bm
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
D
Anyway they already expect you
G
To all give a check
Em A7
To taxdeductible charity organization
[Verse 4]
Bm
Aw, you've been with the professors
A#aug
And they've all liked your looks
D/A
With great lawyers you have
E9
Discussed lepers and crooks
G
You've been through all of
Em
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
D F#m
You are 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?
[Verse 5]
Bm
Well the sword swallower,
A#aug
he comes up to you
And then he kneels
D/A
He crosses himself
E9
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"
D F#m
And you know something is happening
Bm
But you don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Verse 6]
Bm
Now you see this oneeyed midget
A#aug
Shouting the word "Now"
D/A
And you say, "For what reason?"
E9
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
Bm
But ya' don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
[Verse 7]
Bm
Well, you walk into the room
A#aug
Like a camel and then you frown
D/A
You put your eyes in your pocket
E9
And your nose on the ground
G
There oughtta be a law
Em
Against you comin' around
D
You should be made
F#m Bm
To wear earphones
D F#m
'Cause something is happening
Bm
And ya' don't know what it is
G Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
