Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me  
             D                    G       Em    Em7 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          Em Em7   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          Em  Em7   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           Em   Em7 A             /  
And the ancient empty street's too dead for   dreaming ...  

CHORUS  

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

CHORUS  

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

CHORUS  

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

CHORUS
