<chorus>:
C D G C
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,
G C Am D7
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
C D G C
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,
G C Am D7 G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you.
C D G C
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand.
G C G C Am D7
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.
C D G C
My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet,
G C G C Am D7
I have not one to meet, and the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
<chorus>
C D G C
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,
G C G C
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
G C G C Am D7
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.
|
C D G C
I am ready to go anywhere, I am ready for to fade
G C G C
Into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my way,
Am D7
I promise to go under it.
<chorus>
C D G C
Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging madly through the sun,
G C G C
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run,
G C Am D7
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
C D G C
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
G C G C
To your tambourine in time, I wouldn't pay it any mind,
G C G C
It's just a ragged clown behind, and if to you he looks blind,
G C Am D7
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.
<chorus>
C D G C
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind,
G C G C
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
|
G C G C
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
G C Am D7
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
C D G C
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
G C G C
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
G C G C
Driving memory and fate deep beneath the waves.
G C Am D7
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
<chorus>
C D G C
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,
G C Am D7
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
C D G C
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,
G C Am D7 G
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you.
