Refrain:
G                A                         D                    G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me,
            D                      G     Em          A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm goin' to.
G                A                         D                    G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me,
          D               G         Em         A          D
In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you.

1. Strophe:
              G                           A              D                 G
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
D                          G                 D                   G            Em      A
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand but still not sleepin'!
      G               A                 D                     G
My weariness amaze me I'm branded on my feet.
  D                     G                 D                   G               Em        A
I have no one to meet and the ancient empty street's too dead for dreamin'.

2.  Strophe:
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancin' spell my way I promise to go under it.

3.  Strophe:
Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasin'.

4.  Strophe:
Then take me disappearin' 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 wavin' 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.
