Mr. Tambourine Man
Bob Dylan

Capo 3

Intro:  D

G           A               D               G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        D                G               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              A         D
In the jingle-jangle morning I come following you

         G                   A            D               G
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into the sand
D                G             D               G
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand 
              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                     A
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Refrain

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Refrain

Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly 'cross the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing

Refrain

Break

Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Refrain
