Mr. Tambourine Man

Dylan, Bob

    C          D               G              C 
R: Hey Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me 
             G              C                D 
   I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to 
    C          D               G              C 
   hey Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me 
           G             C                 D         G 
   in the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. 
              C                 D 
1. Though I know that evening's empire 
        G             C 
   has returned into sand 
    G                C 
   vanished from my hand 
             G               C 
   left me blindly here to stand 
                   D 
   but still not sleepin' 
       C          D 
   my weariness amazes me 
         G            C 
   I'm branded on my feet 
      G              C 
   I have no one to meet 
          G                C 
   and my ancient empty street's 
                  D 
   too dead for dreamin'. 
R: 
2. Take me on a trip 
   upon your magic swirling ship 
   my senses have been stripped 
   my hands can't feel to grip 
   my toes to numb to step 
   wait only for my bootheels 
   to be wanderin' 
   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. 
R: 
3. Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging 
   madly across the sun 
   its not aimed at anyone 
   its just escaping on the run 
   and but for the sky there 
   are no fences facin' 
   and if you hear vague traces 
   of skipping reels of rhyme 
   to your tambourine in time 
   its just a ragged clown behind 
   I wouldn't pay it any mind 
   its just a shadow you're seeing 
   that he's chasing. 
R: 
4. Then take me dissappearing 
   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 beach 
   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. 
R:
