[Verse]
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#sus2 C#
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
F# G# C# F#
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
C# F#
Vanished from my hand,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
F# G# C# F#
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
C# F#
I have no one to meet
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
[Chorus]
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#sus2 C#
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
[Verse]
F# G# C# F#
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
C# F# C# F#
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
C# F# C# F#
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
G#
To be wanderin'.
F# G# C# F#
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
C# F# C# F#
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
G#
I promise to go under it.
[Chorus]
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#sus2 C#
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
[Verse]
F# G# C# F#
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
C# F# C# F#
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
C# F# G#
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
F# G# C# F#
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
C# F# C# F#
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
C# F# C# F#
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're seein'
G#
That he's chasing.
[Chorus]
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#sus2 C#
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

[Verse]
F# G# C# F#
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
C# F# C# F#
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
C# F# C# F#
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
C# F# G#
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
F# G# C# F#
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
C# F# C# F#
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
C# F# C# F#
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
C# F# G#
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
[Chorus]
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# G#sus4 G#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
F# G# C# F#
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C# F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#sus2 C#
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
