[Chorus]
 
C        D               G               C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        G                C               D
I'm not sleepy and there is 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 followin' you
 
 
[Verse]
 
  C                   D          G             C
I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
G                C
Vanished from my hand
        G               C
Left me blindly here to stand
              D
But still not sleeping
   C          D             G             c
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
  G              C
I have no one to meet
        G             C                     D
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C        D               G               C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        G                C               D
I'm not sleepy and there is 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 followin' you
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C            D              G              C
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
   G                C
My senses have been stripped
   G                   C
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 wanderin'
    C           D
I'm ready to go anywhere
    G            C
I'm ready for to fade
  G           C
Into my own parade
          G                C
Cast your dancing spell my way
  D
I promise to go under it
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
C        D               G               C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        G                C               D
I'm not sleepy and there is 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 followin' you
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
           C                    D                 G                C
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
         G           C
It's not aimed at anyone
            G             C
It's just escapin' on the run
        G                 C             D
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
    C                 D         G                 C
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
        G             C
To your tambourine in time
            G              C
It's just a ragged clown behind
           G          C
I wouldn't pay it any mind
            G             C                D
It's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasing
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
C        D               G               C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        G                C               D
I'm not sleepy and there is 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 followin' you
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
    C            D                   G                 C
And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
         G              C
Down the foggy ruins of time
    G               C
Far past the frozen leaves
    G                   C
The haunted, frightened trees
    G            C
Out to the windy beach
    G                C
Far from the twisted reach
         D
Of crazy sorrow
       C                 D                G               C
Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
      G            C
Silhouetted by the sea
        G             C
Circled by the circus sands
         G          C
With all memory and fate
       G                C
Driven deep beneath the waves
          G           C
Let me forget about today
         D
Until tomorrow
 
 
[Chorus 5]
 
C        D               G               C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
        G                C               D
I'm not sleepy and there is 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 followin' you
