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