Selection chords: Henry Walker

Intro: F

Chorus:
B        C                F              B
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, 
          F              B               C
Iʼm not sleepy and there is no place Iʼm going to.
B        C                F              B
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       F             B                 C         F  
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll 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, Iʼm branded on my feet, 
  F               B   
I have no one to meet,
       F                 B                    C
And the ancient empty streetʼs too dead for dreaming.

Chorus.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
My senses have been stripped, 
My hands canʼt feel the grip, 
My toes too numb to step, 
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
Iʼm ready to go anywhere, Iʼm ready for to fade, 
Into my own parade,
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Chorus.

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, 
Swinging madly across the sun,
Itʼs not aimed at anyone, 
Itʼs just escaping 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.
Itʼs just a ragged clown behind, 
I wouldnʼt pay it any mind, 
Itʼs just a shadow youʼre seeing that heʼs chasing. 

Chorus.

And 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
Silhoutted 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. 

Chorus.
