[Intro]
D D  Dsus2 D

[Chorus]
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        D                G               A        Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       D             G                 A         D   Dsus2
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

[Verse]
         G                  A          D             G    
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
D                G    
Vanished from my hand,
        D               G                   A        Asus4
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
   G          A             D             G    
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
  D              G   
I have no one to meet
        D             G                     A        Asus4
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

[Chorus]
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        D                G               A        Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       D             G                 A         D   Dsus2
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

[Verse]
G            A              D              G    
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,
   D                G            D                   G    
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
   D                G          D           G         
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
      A         Asus4
To be wandering.
    G           A             D            G   
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
  D           G               D                G   
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
                A        Asus4
I promise to go under it.

[Chorus]
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        D                G               A        Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       D             G                 A         D   Dsus2
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

[Verse]
           G                    A                  D                G   
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun,
         D           G                D             G  
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run
        D                 G             A      Asus4
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
    G                 A         D                 G    
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
        D             G                 D              G    
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
           D          G                 D            
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
G                A       Asus4
Seeing that he's chasing.

[Chorus]
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        D                G               A        Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       D             G                 A         D   Dsus2
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

[Bridge]
     G            A                   D                 G    
Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind,
         D              G         D               G      
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
    D                   G          D            G     
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
    D                G              A      Asus4
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
        G                 A                D               G    
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
    D              G            D             G     
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
         D          G           D                G     
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
          D         G             A      Asus4
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

[Chorus]
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        D                G               A        Asus4
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G        A               D               G  
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
       D             G                 A         D   
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
