[CHORUS] - - - [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] followin' [D] you.
 
[Verse] - - - Though I [G] know that evenin's [A] empire has [D] returned into [G] sand,  [D] Vanished from my [G] hand,   
Left me [D] blindly here to [G] stand but still not [A] sleeping.  
- - - My [G] weariness [A] amazes me, I'm [D] branded on my [G] feet,  I [D] have no one to [G] meet  
and the [D] ancient empty [G] street's too dead for [A] dreaming.
 
[CHORUS]
 
[Verse] - - - [G] Take me on a [A] trip upon your [D] magic swirlin' [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 [G] boot heels to be [A] wanderin'.  
- - -  I'm [G] ready to go [A] anywhere, I'm [D] ready for to [G] fade, [D] Into my own [G] parade, 
cast your [D] dancing spell my [G] way,  I promise t'go [A] under it.

[Verse] - - - Though you [G] might hear laughin', [A] spinnin' [D] madly 'cross the [G] sun,  It's not [D] aimed at [G] anyone, it's just [D] escapin' on the [G] run  and

- - - And [G] if you hear vague [A] traces of [D] skippin' reels of [G] rhyme  Shake [D] your tambourine in [G] time, it's [D] just a ragged clown be -[G]- hind ,  I [D] wouldn't pay it any [G] mind,

[Verse] - - - Then [G] take me disap- [A] pearin' through the [D] smoke rings of my [G] mind,  Down the [D] foggy ruins of [G] time, far [D] past the frothy [G] brine, The [D] haunted, frightened [G] trees, out [D] to the windy [G] beach,  
Far [D] from the twisted [G] reach of crazy [A] sorrow. 
- - - Yes, to [G] dance beneath the [A] diamond sky with [D] one hand waving [G] free,  Silhou -[D]- etted 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 [G] today until to- [A] morrow.
