Bob Dylan

   C          D               G              C 
R:Hey Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me
            G              C                D 
  I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
   C          D               G              C 
  hey Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me
          G             C                 D         G 
  in the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
             C                 D 
1.Though I know that evening's empire
       G             C 
  has returned into sand
   G                C 
  vanished from my hand
            G               C 
  left me blindly here to stand
                  D 
  but still not sleepin'
      C          D 
  my weariness amazes me
        G            C 
  I'm branded on my feet
     G              C 
  I have no one to meet
         G                C 
  and my ancient empty street's
                 D 
  too dead for dreamin'.
R:2. Take me on a trip
  upon your magic swirling ship
  my senses have been stripped
  my hands can't feel to grip
  my toes to numb to step
  wait only for my bootheels
  to be wanderin'
  I'm ready to go anywhere
  I'm ready for to fade
  into my own parade
  cast your dancing spell my way
  I promise to go under it.
R:3. Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging
  madly across the sun
  its not aimed at anyone
  its just escaping on the run
  and but for the sky there
  are no fences facin'
  and if you hear vague traces
  of skipping reels of rhyme
  to your tambourine in time
  its just a ragged clown behind
  I wouldn't pay it any mind
  its just a shadow you're seeing
  that he's chasing.
R:4. Then take me dissappearing
  through the smoke rings of my mind
  down the foggy ruins of time
  far past the frozen leaves
  the haunted frightened trees
  out to the windy beach
  far from the twisted reach
  of crazy sorrow
  yes to dance beneath the diamond sky
  with one hand waving free
  silhouetted by the sea
  circled by the circus sands
  with all memory and fate
  driven deep beneath the waves
  let me forget about today
  until tomorrow.
