CHORUS:

 G       A               D               G

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

 G       D               G        Em        A

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

 G       A               D               G

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       D             G       Em        A         D

In the jingle jangle morning I'll 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         Em        A

Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping

   G           A            D             G

My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet

  D              G

I have no one to meet

        D             G            Em       A

And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming ...CHORUS

 

G            A              D              G

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship

   D                G

My senses have been stripped

   D                   G

My hands can't feel to grip

   D                G

My toes too numb to step

     D           G               Em        A

Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering

 

    G           A             D            G

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade

  D            G

Into my own parade

          D                G      Em            A

Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it...CHORUS

 

           G                    A                  D                G

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun

         D        G

It's not aimed at anyone

          D               G

It's just escaping on the run

D               G                Em            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

It's just a ragged clown behind

           D          G

I wouldn't pay it any mind

            D             G                Em      A

It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing ...CHORUS

 

G            A                   D                 G

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind

         D              G

Down the foggy ruins of time

    D               G

Far past the frozen leaves

    D                  G

The haunted frightened trees

    D            G    

Out to the windy bench

    D                G        Em    A

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

       G                 A                D               G

Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free

    D              G

Silhouetted by the sea

        D             G

Circled by the circus sands

         D          G           D                G

With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves

          D           G         Em      A        

Let me forget about today until tomorrow ...CHORUS
