Ballad Of A Thin Man
Bob Dylan
Key : Bm
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Bm

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Bm
  You walk into the room
A#aug
     With your pencil in your hand
D
   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
   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                F#m                  Bm
And you say, "Oh my God, 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
   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
   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                                A#aug
Well the  sword swallower, he comes up to you  
And then he kneels
D
   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
   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
   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?
