Mr. Tambourine Man (Bob Dylan)

[chorus]:
    CDG
    Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song
    CGC
    for me, I'm not sleepy and there ain't
    AmD7C
    no place I'm going to. Hey, Mr.
    DGC
    Tambourine Man play a song for me, In
    GCAm
    the jingle-jangle morning I'll come
    D7G
    following you.
CDG
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned
CGC
into sand. Vanished from my hand, left me
GCAmD7
blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.
CDGC
My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet,
GCG
I have not one to meet, and the ancient empty
CAmD7
street's too dead for dreaming.
     
[chorus]
CDGC
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,
GCG
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't
CGC
feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait
GCAmD7
only for my boot heels to be wandering. I am
CDGC
ready to go anywhere, I am ready for to fade
GCG
Into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my
CAmD7
way, I promise to go under it.
[chorus]
CD
Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging
GCGC
madly through the sun, It's not aimed at anyone,
GCG
it's just escaping on the run, And but for the
CAmD7C
sky there are no fences facing. And if you hear
     
DGC
vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your
GCGC
tambourine in time, I wouldn't pay it any mind,
GCG
It's just a ragged clown behind, and if to you
CGC
he looks blind, It's just a shadow you're seeing
AmD7
that he's chasing.
[chorus]
CDG
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of
CGCG
my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past
CG
the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened
CGCG
trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the
CAmD7C
twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance
DG
beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving
CGCG
free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the
     
CGCG
circus sands, Driving memory and fate deep
CGC
beneath the waves. Let me forget about today
AmD7
until tomorrow.
[chorus]
CDGC
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me, I'm
GCAmD7
not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going
CDGC
to. Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,
GCAmD7
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following
G
you.
