G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A D D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you


G G A A D D G G
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
D D G G
Vanished from my hand
D D G G A A
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
G G A A D D G G
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
D D G G
I have no one to meet
D D G G A A
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming


G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A D D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

G G A A D D G G
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
D D G G
My senses have been stripped
D D G G
My hands can't feel to grip
D D G G
My toes too numb to step
D D G G A A
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
G G A A D D G G
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
D D G G
Into my own parade
D D G G A A
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it


G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A D D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you


G G A A D D G G
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
D D G G
It's not aimed at anyone
D D G G
It's just escaping on the run
D D G G A A
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
G G A A D D G G
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
D D G G
To your tambourine in time
D D G G
It's just a ragged clown behind
D D G G
I wouldn't pay it any mind
D D G G A A
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing


G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A D D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you


G G A A D D G G
And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
D D G G
Down the foggy ruins of time
D D G G
Far past the frozen leaves
D D G G
The haunted frightened trees
D D G G
Out to the windy beach
D D G G A A
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
G G A A D D G G
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
D D G G
Silhouetted by the sea
D D G G
Circled by the circus sands
D D G G
With all memory and fate
D D G G
Driven deep beneath the waves
D D G G A A
Let me forget about today until tomorrow


G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G G A A D D G G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D D G G A A D D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
