Chorus:G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
G A D G
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
D G
Vanished from my hand,
D G A
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
G A D G
My weariness amazes me, Iʼm branded on my feet,
D G
I have no one to meet
D G A
And the ancient empty streetʼs too dead for dreaming.
Chorus:G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
G A D G
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,
D G D G
My senses have been stripped, my hands canʼt feel to grip,
D G D G
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
A
To be wandering.
G A D G
Iʼm ready to go anywhere, Iʼm ready for to fade
D G D G
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
A
I promise to go under it.
Chorus:G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
G A
Though you might hear laughing, spinning,
D G
swinging madly across the sun,
D G D G
Itʼs not aimed at anyone, itʼs just escaping on the run
D G A
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
G A D G
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
D G
To your tambourine in time,
D G
itʼs just a ragged clown behind,
D G D
I wouldnʼt pay it any mind, itʼs just a shadow youʼre
G A
Seeing that heʼs chasing.
Chorus:G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
G A
Then take me disappearing
D G
through the smoke rings of my mind,
D G D G
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
D G D G
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
D G A
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
G A
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
D G
with one hand waving free,
D G D G
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
D G D G
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
D G A
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Chorus:G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
