xam 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 2
xam 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
C Em
and you know something is happening
Am F ( Am F )
but you don’t know what it is

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?
