[Intro] G C G C (2x) [Chorus]
C          D               G               C
  Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

        G                C                  D
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

C         D               G               C
 Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       G             C                D          G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
[Verse 1]
         C                   D
Though I know that evening's empire

    G             C    D
Has returned into sand

G                C    D
Vanished from my hand

        G               C
Left me blindly here to stand

              D
But still not sleeping

   C         D
My weariness amazes me

    G             C    D
I'm branded on my feet

  G              C    D
I have no one to meet

        G             C
And the ancient empty street's

             D
Too dead for dreaming
[Chorus]
C          D               G               C
  Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

        G                C                  D
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

C         D               G               C
 Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       G             C                D          G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
[Verse 2]
C             D
Take me on a trip upon your

G              C    D
Magic swirling ship

   G                C         D
My senses have been stripped

   G                   C    D
My hands can't feel to grip

   G                C
My toes too numb to step

     G           C                D
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering

    C           D
I'm ready to go anywhere

    G            C    D
I'm ready for to fade

  G           C    D
Into my own parade

          G                C
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
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

C         D               G               C
 Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       G             C                D          G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
[Verse 3]
           C                    D
Though you might hear laughing, spinning,

         G                 C
Swinging madly through the sun

D         G          C
It's not aimed at anyone

D          G              C
It's just escaping on the run

D         G                  C             D
  And but for the sky, there are no fences facing

    C                 D
And if you hear vague traces

   G                 C
Of skipping reels of rhyme

D       G             C
To your tambourine in time

D          G          C
I wouldn't pay it any mind

D           G              C
It's just a ragged clown behind

D      G               C
And if to you he looks blind

D          G                  C                                 D
I wouldn't worry, it's just a shadow that he's seeing that he's chasing
[Chorus]
C          D               G               C
  Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

        G                C                  D
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

C         D               G               C
 Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       G             C                D          G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
[Verse 4]
C            D
Take me disappearing

            G                 C    D
Through the smoke rings of my mind

         G              C     D
Down the foggy ruins of time

    G               C      D
Far past the frozen leaves

    G                  C     D
The haunted, sheltered trees

    G            C     D
Out to the windy beach

    G                C              D
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

        C                 D
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky

     G               C    D
With one hand waving free

      G            C    D
Silhouetted by the sea

        G             C     D
Circled by the circus sands

         G          C     D
With all memory and fate

       G                C     D
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
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

C         D               G               C
 Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

       G             C                D          G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
