[Intro 1]
[D][D]

[Chorus 1]
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
I'm not [D]sleepy and
there [G]is no place I'm [A]going to
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
In the [D]jingle jangle [G]morning
I'll come [A]following [D]you

[Verse 1]
Though I [G]know that evenings [A]empire
has [D]returned into [G]sand
[D]Vanished from my [G]hand
Left me [D]blindly here to [G]stand
but [Em]still not [A]sleeping
My [G]weariness a[A]mazes me,
I am [D]branded on my [G]feet
I [D]have no one to [G]meet
And the [D]ancient empty [G]street's too [Em]dead
for [A]dreaming

[Chorus 2]
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
I'm not [D]sleepy and
there [G]is no place I'm [A]going to
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
In the [D]jingle jangle [G]morning
I'll come [A]following [D]you

[Verse 2]
[G]Take me on a [A]trip
upon your [D]magic swirling [G]ship
My [D]senses have been [G]stripped
My [D]hands can't feel to [G]grip
My [D]toes too numb to [G]step
Wait [D]only for my [Em]boot heels to be [A]wandering
I'm [G]ready to go [A]anywhere,
I'm [D]ready for to [G]fade
In[D]to my own pa[G]rade
Cast your [D]dancing spell my [G]way,
I [Em]promise to go [A]under it

[Chorus 3]
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
I'm not [D]sleepy and
there [G]is no place I'm [A]going to
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
In the [D]jingle jangle [G]morning
I'll come [A]following [D]you

[Verse 3]
Though you [G]might hear laughing,
[A]spinning, swinging [D]madly across the [G]sun
It's not [D]aimed at any[G]one
It's just [D]escaping on the [G]run
And but [D]for the sky
there [G]are no [Em]fences [A]facing
And [G]if you hear vague [A]traces
of [D]skipping reels of [G]rhyme
To your [D]tambourine in [G]time
It's just a [D]ragged clown be[G]hind
I wouldn't [D]pay it any [G]mind
It's just [D]a shadow you're s[Em]eeing
that he's [A]chasing

[Chorus 4]
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
I'm not [D]sleepy and
there [G]is no place I'm [A]going to
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
In the [D]jingle jangle [G]morning
I'll come [A]following [D]you

[G][A][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][Em][A][D][D]

[Verse 4]
And [G]take me disappear[A]ing
through the [D]smoke rings of my [G]mind
Down the [D]foggy ruins of [G]time
Far [D]past the frozen [G]leaves
The [D]haunted frightened [G]trees
Out [D]to the windy [G]beach
Far [D]from the twisted [G]reach of [Em]crazy [A]sorrow
Yes, to [G]dance beneath the [A]diamond sky
With [D]one hand waving [G]free
Silhou[D]et ted by the [G]sea
Circled [D]by the circus [G]sands
With all [D]memory and [G]fate
Driven [D]deep beneath the [G]waves
Let me for[D]get about to[Em]day [A]until tomorrow

[Chorus 5]
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
I'm not [D]sleepy and
there [G]is no place I'm [A]going to
[G]Hey, Mr. [A]Tambourine man,
[D]play a song for [G]me
In the [D]jingle jangle [G]morning
I'll come [A]following [D]you[D]
