[Verse]
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# F#sus4 F#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
E F# B E
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
B E
Vanished from my hand,
B E F# F#sus4 F#
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
E F# B E
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
B E
I have no one to meet
B E F# F#sus4 F#
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
[Chorus]
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# F#sus4 F#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
[Verse]
E F# B E
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
B E B E
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
B E B E
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
F#
To be wanderin'.
E F# B E
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
B E B E
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
F#
I promise to go under it.
[Chorus]
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# F#sus4 F#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
[Verse]
E F# B E
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
B E B E
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
B E F#
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
E F# B E
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
B E B E
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
B E B E
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're seein'
F#
That he's chasing.
[Chorus]
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# F#sus4 F#
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
E F# B E
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
B E F# B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

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

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
