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

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