Chorus:
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 E       B                E                 F#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        B             E                F#         B
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
           E                  F#          B            E
 Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
   B               E
 Vanished from my hand,
          B               E                   F#
 Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
     E         F#              B             E
 My weariness amazes me, Iʼm branded on my feet,
   B               E
 I have no one to meet,
          B               E                   F#
 And the ancient empty streetʼs too dead for dreaming.

Chorus:
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 E       B                E                 F#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        B             E                F#         B
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         E                  F#          B      E
 Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
          B               E          
 My senses have been stripped, 
          B               E          
 May hands canʼt feel to grip, 
          B            E          
 my toes too numb to step,
          B               E              F#
 Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
        E                  F#          B      E
 Iʼm ready to go anywhere, Iʼm ready for to fade, 
     B          E       
 into my own parade.
          B               E              F#
 Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Chorus:
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 E       B                E                 F#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        B             E                F#         B
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         E                  F#          B   
 Though you might hear laughing, spinning, 
   E
 swinging madly across the sun,
          B            E         
 Itʼs not aimed at anyone,
          B            E         
 Itʼs just escaping on the run,
          B               E              F#
 And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
         E                  F#          B      E
 And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,
          B            E         
 To your tambourine in time.
          B            E         
 Itʼs just a ragged clown behind,
          B            E         
 I wouldnʼt pay it any mind,
          B               E              F#
 Itʼs just a shadow youʼre seeing that heʼs chasing.

Chorus:
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 E       B                E                 F#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        B             E                F#         B
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         E                  F#          B      E
 Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.
          B            E     
 Down the foggy ruins of time,
          B            E     
 Far past the frozen leaves,
          B            E     
 The haunted frightened trees,
          B         E     
 Out to the windy bench,
          B               E              F#
 Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
         E                  F#          B      E
 Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
          B          E     
 Silhouetted by the sea,
          B            E     
 Circled deep beneath the waves,
          B               E            F#
 Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Chorus:
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 E       B                E                 F#
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 E       F#               B               E
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        B             E                F#         B
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
