Chords

Written by Bob Dylan. This is legend, Stevie Wonder's version. Like Glen Campbell, Stevie Wonder recorded a version of 'Mr. Tambourine Man' sounding exactly like The Byrds' version except Stevie Wonder uses words, Glen Campbell doesn't. Intro: D G A Chorus:
G           A               D               G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.

        D                G     Em        A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.

G           A               D               G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.

       D             G       Em        A         D   G   D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

         G                  A          D                 G
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into the sand.

D                G             D               G
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand

    Em        A
but still not sleeping!

   G          A             D             G      D              G
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet.

        D             G            Em       A
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Chorus
              G              A      D       G
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship

D                   G             D                    G
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel the grip,

                            Em
my toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels

          A
to be wandering

               G            A  D     G  D   G
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade

             D                G      Em       A
Into my own parade cast your dancing spell my way,

  D          G   Em    A
I promise to go under it
Chorus
                      G         A           D                      G
Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun

            D       G                D             G
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run

Em                           
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'

A
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme

         G           A             D          G     D     G
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind

     D                   G                Em    A
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're

D         G  Em    A
seein' that he's chasing
Chorus
              G                      A                D   G
Then take me dissapearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

          D                     G            D       G
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves

Em
The haunted, frightended trees out to the windy beach

A
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

G              A             D             G         D       G
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin' free

   D                      G             Em      A
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands

D                            G       Em           A
With all memory and fate drive deep beneath the waves

          D           G     Em     A
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Enjoy!
