MR. TAMBOURINE MAN by Bob Dylan

      F       G               C               F
     Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      F       C                F                 G
     I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
      F       G               C               F
     Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
             C             F                G         C
     In the jingle jangle morning I'll 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, I'm branded on my feet,
  C               F
I have no one to meet,
         C               F                   G
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

F             G              C              F
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
    C               F
My senses have been stripped,
    C                  F
My hands can't 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
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm 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.

F               G             C                F
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun,
 C      F
It's not aimed at anyone,
 C      F
It's 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
It's just a ragged clown behind,
 C      F
I wouldn't pay it any mind,
           C               F                     G
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.

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
