[Chorus]
G/B A D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em7 A Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G/B A D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em A Dsus4 D D
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you
[Verse 1]
G/B A D Em7 D Em7
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand, vanished from my hand
D Em A Asus4
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
G/B A D Em7 D Em7
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet, I have no one to meet
D Em A Asus4
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
[Chorus]
G/B A D Em7 D
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em7 A Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G/B A D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em A Dsus4 D D
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you
[Verse 2]
G/B A D Em7
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
D Em7 D Em7
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
D Em7 D Em A Asus4
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
G/B A D Em7
I'm ready to go anywhere I’m ready for to fade
D Em7 D Em7 Em A Asus4
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it
[Short Chorus]
G/B A D Dsus4 D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em A Dsus4 D
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you
[Solo on Mouth Organ]
Em7 A D Em7 D Em7 D Em7
D Em7 D Em A Asus4
G/B A D Em7 D Em A Dsus4 D D
[Verse 3]
G/B A D Em7
Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
D Em7 D Em7
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
D Em7 D Em7
The haunted frightened trees, out to the windy beach
D Em A Asus4
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
G/B A D Em7
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
D Em7 D Em7 D Em7
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate
D Em7 D Em A Asus4
Driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tommorow
[Chorus]
G/B A D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em7 A Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G/B A D Em7
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D Em A Dsus4 D
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you
