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


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


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

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


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


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


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


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


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