Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man Chords

[intro]
D

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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