G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
G A D G
Though I know that evening's 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, I'm branded on my feet
D G
I have no one to meet
D G A
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
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 A
Wait only for my boot heels 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 A
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
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 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 A
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
G A D G
And 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 beach
D G 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
With all memory and fate
D G
Driven deep beneath the waves
D G A
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
G A D G
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
D G A D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
