Mr Tambourine Man

[Intro]:F

 

[Chorus]:B C F B

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

F B C

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.

B C F B

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

F B C F

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

 

B C

Though I know that evenings empire

F B

Has returned into sand,

F B

Vanished from my hand,

F B C

Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.

B C F B

My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,

F B

I have no one to meet,

F B C

And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

 

[Chorus]:B C F B

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.

F B

My senses have been stripped,

F B

My hands can't feel the grip,

F B

My toes too numb to step,

F B C

Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.

B C F B

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade,

F B

Into my own parade,

F B C

Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

 

[Chorus]: B C

Though you might hear laughing, spinning,

F B

Swinging madly across the sun,

F B

It's not aimed at anyone,

F B

It's just escaping on the run,

F B C

And but for the sky there are no fences facing.

B C F B

And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,

F B

To your tambourine in time.

F B

It's just a ragged clown behind,

F B

I wouldn't pay it any mind,

F B C

It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.

 

[Chorus]: B C F B

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.

F B

Down the foggy ruins of time,

F B

Far past the frozen leaves,

F B

The haunted frightened trees,

F B

Out to the windy beach,

F B C

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.

B C

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky

F B

With one hand waving free

F B

Silhoutted by the sea

F B

Circled by the circus sands

F B

With all memory and fate

F B

Driven deep beneath the waves

F B C

Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

 

[Chorus]:
