_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You _ walk into the room [A#] with your pencil in your hand.
[D] You see somebody naked.
[E] You say, who is that man?
[G] You try so hard, [Em] but you don't understand.
[D] Just what he will say [Bm] when you get home. _
_ [D] But there's something [F#m] happening here.
[Bm] And you don't know what it [A] is.
[G] Do you, _ Miss [Bm] Jones?
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ You raise up your hand.
[F#] You ask, is this where it [A#] is?
_ [D]
And somebody [D] points to you and [E] says, it is his.
You [G] say, what's mine?
And someone [Em] else says, well, what is?
And you [D] say, oh my [F#m] God, am I here all [Bm] alone?
[D] Yes, something [F#m] is happening [Bm] here,
but you don't know what it is.
[G] Do you, _ Mr.
[Bm] Jones? _ _
_ _ _ _ So you're handing your ticket.
[A#] You go watch the geek [A] who immediately walks up to you
when [E] he hears you [E] speak.
And he [G] says, well, how does it feel, my friend,
[Em] to be such a freak?
[D] You say, [F#m] impossible.
As he [Bm] hands you a book, [D] you're positive [F#m] that something's
happening [Bm] here, but you don't know what it is.
Do [G] you, _ _ [Bm] Mr.
Jones? _ _ _ _ _
_ You have so many contacts [D] out there among the [G] lumberjacks
to get you the facts that someone
[Bm] attached to your imagination. _
_ But nobody has any [D] respect.
Anyway, there's always a [G] spell.
You can just give a check [Em] to tax deductible charity
[A] organizations. _ _ _ _
You've [Bm] been with the professors, [A#] and they all like your looks.
[A] With great lawyers, you have [D#] discussed [E] lepers and crooks.
[G] You've been through all of [Em] F.
Scott Fitzgerald's books.
[D] You're very well read.
[Bm] Yeah, it's well known. _
[D] Because something [F#m] is still happening [Bm] here.
You don't know what it is, [G] do you, _ [Bm] Mr.
Jones? _
_ _ _ _ _ With a sword swallower, [F#] he comes up to you, and then he kneels.
[A] He [D] crosses himself, [G#m] and then he [E] clicks his high heels.
[G] Without further notice, [Em] he tells you how it feels.
And [D] he says, [F#m] here's your mouth back.
[Bm] Thanks for the loan.
[D] And you know [F#m] something's happening [Bm] here.
But you don't know what it is, [G] do you, _ [Bm] Mr.
Jones? _ _ _ _ _
_ Now you see this one-eyed midget [A#] shouting the word now.
[A] You say, for what reason?
[E] And he says, how?
[G] You say, good God, what's [Em] happening?
And he screams back, you're a cow.
[D] Give me [F#m] some milk [Bm] off the horn. _
[D] Yes, and now you're positive something's happening,
[Bm] and you wish you knew what it was, _ [G] don't you, _ [Bm] Mr.
Jones? _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Well, you walk into the room _ [A#] like a [A#] camel,
and then you frown.
[A] You put your eyes in your pocket, [G#] nose in the ground.
[G] Ought to be a law [Em] against you coming round.
[D] You should be [F#m] made to wear some [Bm] earphones.
_ [D] Because something [F#m] is happening here.
[Bm] You don't know what it is, [G] do you, _ [Bm] Mr.
Jones?
