Chorus:
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F#C#F#G#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C#F#G#C#
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
F#G#C#F#
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
C#F#
Vanished from my hand,
C#F#G#
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
F#G#C#F#
My weariness amazes me, Iʼm branded on my feet,
C#F#
I have no one to meet,
C#F#G#
And the ancient empty streetʼs too dead for dreaming.
Chorus:
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F#C#F#G#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C#F#G#C#
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
F#G#C#F#
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
C#F#
My senses have been stripped,
C#F#
May hands canʼt feel to grip,
C#F#
my toes too numb to step,
C#F#G#
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
F#G#C#F#
Iʼm ready to go anywhere, Iʼm ready for to fade,
C#F#
into my own parade.
C#F#G#
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.
Chorus:
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F#C#F#G#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C#F#G#C#
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
F#G#C#
Though you might hear laughing, spinning,
F#
swinging madly across the sun,
C#F#
Itʼs not aimed at anyone,
C#F#
Itʼs just escaping on the run,
C#F#G#
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
F#G#C#F#
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,
C#F#
To your tambourine in time.
C#F#
Itʼs just a ragged clown behind,
C#F#
I wouldnʼt pay it any mind,
C#F#G#
Itʼs just a shadow youʼre seeing that heʼs chasing.
Chorus:
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F#C#F#G#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C#F#G#C#
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
F#G#C#F#
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.
C#F#
Down the foggy ruins of time,
C#F#
Far past the frozen leaves,
C#F#
The haunted frightened trees,
C#F#
Out to the windy bench,
C#F#G#
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
F#G#C#F#
Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
C#F#
Silhouetted by the sea,
C#F#
Circled deep beneath the waves,
C#F#G#
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Chorus:
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F#C#F#G#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
F#G#C#F#
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C#F#G#C#
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
