[D] [Ab] When he hears you speak
[G] Saying how does it feel to
[Em] Be such a freak
And you say [D] impossible
[Gbm] As the hands you were [Bm] thrown

And you don't [Bm] know what it is
[G] Do you?
Mr.

[Em] [Bm]
You have many contacts
[D] Out there wanting to lumberjacks
[G] To get you back when someone
Attacks your [Bm] imagination
Yes but nobody has any respect
[D] And the way they just expect
[G] You to take your check
And give it [Em] to
Tax deductible charity [A] organization
Ah [Gb] you've been with the professors
[Bb] Never got your looks
[D] [A] With great lawyers and [D] scholars
[Abm] You've discussed lepers and crooks

You're [D] very well read

Sword swallower
[Bb] Comes up to you and then he kneels
[D] He crosses your self
[Ab] Then he clicks his high heels
[G] And without further notice
[Em] He tells you how it feels
And says [D] is your mouth bad
[Gbm] Thanks for the [Bm] loan
Yes and [D] you know [Gbm] something's happening now
But you [Bm] still don't know what it is
[G] Do you?
Mr.
Jones
[Bm]
[B] You see this one eyed midget
[Bb] Shouting the [Bb] word now
[D] You say for what reason?
[Ab] And he says how?
You [G] say good God what does that mean?
And he [Em] screams back you're a cow
Give [E] me some milk
[Gbm] Or I'll scare
[Bm]
Yes [D] and you're positive [Gbm] something's happening
And you [Bm] wish you knew what it was
[G] Don't you?
Mr.
[E] [Bm] Jones
You walk into the room
Like [Bb] a camel and you frown
[D] You put your eyes in your pockets
[Abm] And your nose into the ground
[G] It ought to be a little more
[Eb] [Em] Against you coming around
You should be [D] made
To be [Gbm] carrying at all times [Bm] A telephone
Yes [D] because something is [Gbm] happening
And you [Bm] don't know what it is [D] [G] Do you?
Mr.
[D] [Bm] Jones
