The Grass Roots (Bob Dylan) (The Grass Roots called this Mr Jones (Ballad Of A Thin Man))

Capo II

Am F/Am 2x

Am                F    Am
You raise up your head
                              F   Am
And you ask, Is this where it is?
                     F            Am           
And somebody points to you and says
     F
It's his
             Dm
And you say, What's mine?
                              F
And somebody else says, Where what is?
             C
And you say, Oh my God
     Am        F
Am I here all alone?

        C                 Em
And you know something is happening 
        Am                 F  (Am F)
But you don't know what it is
      G        Am
Do you, Mister Jones?

Am F/Am 2x

Am               F      Am
You hand in your ticket
                     F    Am
And you go watch the geek
                      F        Am
Who immediately walks up to you
                  F
When he hears you speak
                      Am
And says, How does it feel
     Dm      F
To be such a freak?
                C
And you say, Impossible
      Am          F
As he hands you a bone
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/grass_roots/ballad_of_a_thin_man_crd.html ]
        C                 Em
And you know something is happening 
        Am                 F  (Am F)
But you don't know what it is
      G        Am
Do you, Mister Jones?

Am F/Am 

Am            F        Am
You have many contacts
          F          Am
Among the lumberjacks
           F
To get you facts
               Am              F      Am
When someone attacks your imagination
               F          Am  
But nobody has any respect
                      F       Am
Anyway they already expect you
              F
To all give a check
   Dm             Am            F   G
To tax-deductible charity organizations
   C   Am  F
Oh yeh yeh yeh 

Am                      F    Am
Well, you walk into the room
                          F    Am
Like a camel and then you frown
                          F      Am
You put your eyes in your pocket
                     F      Am
And your nose on the ground
                    F
There ought to be a law
        Am          Dm
Against you comin' around
C            
You should be made
   Am     F
To wear a bone

        C                 Em
And you know something is happening 
        Am                 F  (Am F)
But you don't know what it is
      G        Am
Do you, Mister Jones?

Am F/Am 

      G        Am
Do you, Mister Jones?

Am F/Am
