CHORUS
G/B A D G/B
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G/B A D G/B
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
D G/B A D
In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Verse 1
G/B A D G/B
Though i know the evenings empire has returned into sand
D G/B
Vanished from my hand
D G/B Em A
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
G/B A D G/B
My weeriness amazes me, im branded on my feet
D G/B
I have no one to meet
D G/B Em A
And the ancient empty streets too dead for dreaming
(Chorus)

Verse 2
G/B A D G/B
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
D G/B D G/B
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
D G/B D G/B
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
A
To be wanderin'
G/B A D G/B
Im ready to go anywhere im ready for to fade
D G/B D G/B
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
Em A
I promise to go under it
(Chorus)
Verse 3
G/B A
Though you might hear laughing, spinning
D G/B
Swinging madly across the sun,
D G/B Em G/B
Its not aimed at anyone, its just escaping on the run
D G/B Em A
And but for the sky, there are no fences facing
G/B A D G/B
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
D G/B D G/B
To your tambourine in time, its just a ragged clown behind
D G/B D
I wouldn't pay it any mind, its just a shadow you're
Em A
Seeing that he's chasing
(Chorus)
Verse 4
G/B A D G/B
Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
D G/B D G/B
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
D G/B D G/B
Ther haunted frightened trees, out to the windy beach
D G/B Em A
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
G/B A D G/B
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
D G/B D G/B
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
D G/B D G/B
With all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
D Em A
Let me forget about today until tommorow
(Chorus)
If I'm wrong report it. Overall, enjoy!
