G       A               D               G               
Hey  Mr  Tambourine Man  play a song for me              
         D                                 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                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                   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                                 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                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                             D                G 
My senses have been stripped, may hands can't feel to grip  
     D              G                        D              G            A 
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my bootheels to be wandering  
    G             A           D           G                                D       G 
I'm ready to go anywhere  I'm ready for to fade,  into my own parade  
          D              G       Bm            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                                 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                A         D      
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you  
   
Interlude: G A D G D G D G D G D G D G A D G D G D G D G A D 

           G                   A                  D                G 
Though you might hear laughing  spinning  swinging madly across the sun  
        D            G                        D                G 
It's not aimed at anyone,  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                               D            G 
To your tambourine in time, 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                                 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                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                           D               G 
Down the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leaves  
     D                G                        D           G 
The haunted frightened trees, out to the windy bench  
    D               G       Bm     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                      D              G 
Silhouetted by the sea circled by the circus sands  
        D           G                       D              G 
With all memory and fate 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                                 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                A         D                                  
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
